Here is thecrucial test of the plea we make. 2. We have assigned ourselves a lar-ger task than ever before. To send outfifty new missionaries and give $350,000,is a worthy undertaking. Ten of thesemissionaries have been sent forth sincethe Norfolk convention. The whole taskwell performed will be worth far morethan all the effort we may expend in theaccomplishment. 3.

THE MOST IMPORTANT YET. The approaching offering for ForeignMissions the first Sunday in March, isbeyond all question the most importantin our history. This for a number ofvery apparent reasons: 1. We are drawing nigh the great Cen-tennial in Pittsburg in 1909. We mustbegin to mount the heights if we showourselves equal to an event of so muchimportance. We will be more measuredby what we do for Foreign Missions bythe religious world than by any otherone thing. Numbers, houses, colleges, fore blessed with the Gospel, and in aword the work has expanded beyond ourhopes and dreams of ten years ago. Thisenlargement lends a tremendous signifi-cance to the offering we observe March1st.
