Last evening in Holden Chapel Mr. Louis Byrd of Cambridge, England, delivered an address on foreign missions before a union meeting of the Christian Association and the St. Paul's Society.

Christ was sent into the world, said Mr. Byrd, to bear witness before men of his father. This same glorious commission has been given by Christ to us, - to share with him. Surely then this work should stand first, above all else, in the heart of every Christian. It rests upon all the members of the Christian church to see that the gospel is carried into every part of the world. It rests especially with students, who have had unusual advantages in education, to preach the word of God to a heathen world, and to show by noble lives of self-sacrifice the power and beauty of the Christian faith. The needs of foreign fields are so much greater than those of the home fields that they cannot be spoken of in the same breath. In Christian countries every one has heard the name of God, every one knows what a church is and the opportunities for hearing the word of God preached are very many. In foreign countries where the gospel has never been preached there are millions of persons who have never even heard the name of God, who never will hear it unless we Christians rise as one man and say this state of things must not be. The Church has blinded her eyes to this crying need for foreign missionary work and has magnified the need at home. So she sends one man into the foreign field while she keeps a hundred at home. No man will ever regret the day he leaves this or any other country to preach the doctrine of Christianity to the dying souls of the millions of heathen who have never known the name of God.

It is not possible to convert the world within a life-time, but it is possible within that time to make the gospel known in every land upon this earth.
