PREFACE. 
 
 It should be the supreme desire and effort of every 
 pastor, that out from his church, as the years go by, 
 should go rank after rank of new recruits for the con- 
 quest of the world for Christ. It is pre-eminently 
 for that purpose that he is set of God in his church. 
 Every ministerial relation through which he touches 
 the life of his flock must be permeated with the spirit 
 of missions, if he accomplishes the end of his office, 
 and makes his church one company of the aggressive 
 militant host which is to sweep the world for Christ. 
 This little book is not intended for pastors who are 
 p not missionary in spirit and effort. It is for those 
 who class among their most profound convictions the 
 belief that God has set them in the Church to make it 
 a missionary Church. The material from which it has 
 been edited has been developed through the work of 
 the Educational Department of the Student Volun- 
 teer Movement for Foreign Missions. Much of it has 
 appeared in the various publications of the Movement, 
 (/) and is but representative of other equally valuable 
 ^ matter which has grown up in this work.

4 PREFACE. 
 
 The object of this movement, aside from leading the 
 students of our colleges and theological seminaries to 
 consider the claims of the foreign field upon their own 
 life's service, is ' ' to guide and stimulate students in 
 their missionary study and work," and "to create 
 and maintain an intelligent, sympathetic, active in- 
 terest in foreign missions among the students who are 
 to remain in the home field, in order to secure the 
 strong backing of this great enterprise by men and 
 money. " It is practically this same object which the 
 missionary pastor seeks to attain in his church. The 
 pursuit of this purpose in the work of the movement 
 has developed much valuable missionary material in 
 the way of methods, study outlines, missionary-meet- 
 ing programs, etc. They are from men who have 
 made an especial study of the problems involved. 
 We cannot but believe that these will be equally 
 valuable also to the home pastor in developing the 
 missionary life of his church. We are profoundly 
 convinced that our Master has placed in the hands of 
 the pastors the high privilege of determining the 
 loyalty of the Bride of Christ to her great commis 
 sion, and we trust that these pages may prove m some 
 small measure helpful to those of our fellow servants 
 who have been set to this great work. 
 
 It is not possible to give personal credit to all the 
 sources of the material. Mr. John R. Mott, Mr. D.

CHAPTER 
 
 MISSIONARY METHODS. 
 
 The busy pastor, absorbed with the many interests 
 which cLaim his attention and time, finds little leisure 
 to sit down and plan comprehensively for all the dif- 
 ferent lines of work which might' be inaugurated to 
 stimulate the missionary interest and zeal of his 
 church. If he could but have before him a few sug- 
 gestions from the experience of those who have been 
 successful in different ways in attempting greater 
 things for missions, he would be able to glean from 
 such suggestions some hints as to what he might do 
 without overburdening himself. 
 
 It is with the thought in mind, of the pastor who 
 desires to be more truly a missionary pastor that 
 the following suggestions are given. They have 
 grown out of the experience of pastors and mission- 
 ary workers under many differing circumstances. 
 
 MISSIONS IN THE STUDY. 
 
 To busy workers, there is no need to emphasize the 
 necessity of system in the accumulation of material. 
 Without some thorough system of accumulation and 
 a steadfast adherence to it, it is impossible for the 
 
 [71 
 
8 THE MISSIONARY PASTOR. 
 
 overburdened pastor to discharge the obligations of 
 his position in developing the missionary life of his 
 church. If he is to accomplish the end of his minis- 
 try at this point, he must gather his material system- 
 atically, and have it in the best possible shape for 
 use with the least possible expenditure of time. 
 Otherwise, instead of laying siege he will but fire an 
 occasional salute, and find hard work in mustering the 
 ammunition for that. 
 
 No pastor can afford to be without a small, well- 
 selected missionary library. He owes it to his flock, 
 and it does not require a great expenditure. His 
 young peoples' society can generally be enlisted in 
 securing it. A file of the Missionary Revievj of the 
 World, of the Student Volunteer, and of his church mis- 
 sionary magazine should be placed in it. Ten books, 
 well digested, with all their contents completely in 
 hand for use, are, for practical purposes in the life of 
 the church, worth a hundred which have been care- 
 lessly read. 
 
 The following plan of indexing references to mis- 
 sionary material does not pretend in any sense to be 
 exhaustive ; it may prove suggestive. It was devel- 
 oped originally as a sj^stem of index for a book which 
 should contain, under the proper heads, references to 
 all the missionary material which was filed in the 
 pastor's study. A medium-sized blank book furn- 
 ishes an abundance of space, if only bare references 
 to the material are put in it. It possesses this virtue, 
 that it enables the pastor to keep a record of, and at 
 a moment's notice place his hand upon, all the mate- 
 
MISSIONARY METHODS. 9 
 
 rial on a given missionary topic which has come into 
 his study Being arranged topically, it becomes a 
 steadily filling reservoir which can be tapped at anj' 
 place and at any time, to supply the needs of his 
 church. It also, in the course of time, supplies not 
 only the topics but the material for many valuable 
 lines of missionary study for the pastor himself. 
 Doubtless many other valuable topics under which it 
 will be profitable to accumulate references will sug- 
 gest themselves to one attempting to develop the 
 plan for himself. 
 
 I. PRINCIPLES OF MISSIONS. 
 
 1. Biblical Aspects: (1) The development of the 
 missionary idea in the Old Testament ; (2) the Great 
 Commission and the Glreat Promise ; (3) the parables 
 concerning the Kingdom ; (4) the teaching, founding, 
 and training of the Church in the Gospels and Acts 
 as regards its missionary obligation ; (5) the certain 
 prophesied result of the Church's missionary work ; 
 (6) the Father and missions, — providing, giving, suf- 
 fering ; (7) the Son and missions, — his mission, mot- 
 ives, example, commands ; (8) the Holy Spirit and 
 missions, — calling, enduing, applying ; (9) Paul as a 
 missionary, — his great fearlessness, motives, methods, 
 policy, success and crown ; (10) the teaching of Paul 
 in his epistles concerning the missionary obligations 
 of the Church ; (11) the Bible basis of missions — the 
 lost condition of the race, the redemption by Christ, 
 the witness of the Church, and the effectual application 
 by the Spirit ; (12) is the gospel meant for all people ? 
 (13) prayer and missions. 
 
10 THE MISSIONARY PAST OB. 
 
 2. Rational Aspects : (1) The nature and scope of 
 Christ's kingdom, — the kingdom as originally set up, 
 the revolt and dismemberment through sin, the pur- 
 pose of God for its ultimate re-unification, the agen- 
 cies for its accomplishment ; (2) what is the Church 
 for? or the place of the church in the economy of 
 the kingdom ; (3) inter-relation of the Church and the 
 Holy Spirit in the work of conquering the world for 
 Christ ; (4) the vital connection of the spiritual life 
 of the Church with faithfulness to its Commission ; 
 (5) the place of missionary work in the labor of 
 the Church ; (6) the temporal and spiritual benefits oc- 
 curring to the heathen ; (7) the reflex temporal and 
 spiritual benefits to the Christian world ; (8) encour- 
 agements to prosecute the missionary enterprise — the 
 history of Christianity, the political condition among 
 the nations, the moral and spiritual need of the world, 
 conditions in the home church. 
 
 II. HISTORICAL. 
 
 1. Apostolic missions. 2. Nestorian missions. 3. 
 Mediaeval Romish missions on the Continent. 4. Early 
 Irish and Scotch missions. 5. Jesuit missions. 6. 
 Dutch missions. 7. Moravian missions. 8. I)anish

 The intensive growth of the missionary idea in mod- 
 ern missions — as the dawn of modern missions in the 
 Danish-Halle Mission, the early Moravian missions, 
 and the English in Colonial America, then the Carey 
 and the Baptist Society, the great English Bible and 
 Missionary Societies, and finally the churches them-

 selves becoming missionary. 11. The chronology of 
 the spread of the gospel in modern missions, tracing 
 chronologically the establishment of mission work in 
 the various countries of the world, also its march in 
 the mdividual countries. 12. The cooperation of 
 Christ in the work, — the opening of doors, the sub- 
 sidence of obstacles, the facilities in transportation, 
 the blessing in fruits etc. 13. Biographical studies 
 in the lives of master missionaries : (1) The elements 
 which made him what he was, — his ancestry, early 
 environment and religious experiences ; (2) his equip- 
 ment (educational, mechanical, etc.); (3) his call to 
 the work ; (4) his line of work (education, explora- 
 tion, evangelization, etc.); (5) his inner life ; (6) his 
 strong and weak points as a missionary ; (7) his policy 
 as a missionary ; (8) his success ; (9) his position on 
 debated questions of mission policy. 14. Great spir- 
 itual outpourings in the mission field — their ante- 
 cedent and accompanying conditions. 15. Student 
 missionary movements in history. 16. The mission- 
 ary march by centuries. 17. History of denomina^ 
 tional missionary work. 18. Specific fields. 
 
 III. PRESENT DAY WORK. 
 
 1. Foreign Field: (1) General statistics or survey 
 of the world field — items such as number of adher- 
 ents to non-christian religions, rate of increase of 
 population in pagan lands, spiritual and moral nee^s,, 
 number of Christians in home churches, their wealth:, 
 power, and prosperity, force on the fields f oteigi\ nj\d

12 THE MISSIONARY PAST OB. 
 
 of native workers and of native Christians, of gifts 
 from home churches, etc., etc.; (2) specific fields — 
 North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Island 
 World ; (3) great sins of heathenism ; (4) non-Chris- 
 tian religions — Buddhism, Confucianism, Shintoism, 
 Taoism, Demon Worship, Hinduism, Parseeism, Mo- 
 hammedanism, Oriental Christianity, Fetichism, Juda- 
 ism ; (5) missionary methods — educational, evangel- 
 istic, industrial, literary, medical, pastoral, Sunday 
 schools, woman's work ; (6) missionary organizations ; 
 (7) obstacles and hindrances ; (8) miscellaneous top- 
 ics — excuses and objections, giving to missions, 
 missionary tracts, missionary poetry, missionary mo- 
 tives, missionary qualifications, missionary prepara- 
 tion. 
 
 2. Home Field: (1) General data; (2) city; (3) 
 country ; (4) freedmen ; (5) frontier ; (6) Indians. 
 
 A somewhat minute sub-division of continents 
 should be given under the head of "specific fields." 
 In the reference book this will also take the larger 
 part of the book, as the most of the material coming 
 to hand will refer to the present-day condition of 
 specific fields. Practically, it permits of greater 
 freedom if the index in the front of the book is con- 
 fined to continents, while the more minute division is 
 put only in the body of the book. In the division of 
 continents like Africa or South America it is better to 
 have first a sub-head of "general statistics" and then 
 the sub-division into parts or countries. 
 
MISSIONARY METHODS. 13 
 
 IV. RELATING TO PASTORAL WORK. 
 
 1 . For Developing Conviction Among the People : 
 (1) private and public intercessory prayer ; (2) ser- 
 monizing — missionary sermons and missionary illus- 
 trations for other sermons ; (3) prayer-meeting ; (4) 
 monthl}^ concert of prayer ; (5) Sunday-school ; (6) 
 young people's society ; (7) pastoral visitation. 
 
 2. Lines in Which to Stimtdate Action : (1) Praying 
 for missions ; (2) studying missions ; (3) giving to 
 missions ; (4) going as missionaries ; (5) dedicating 
 children. 
 
 MISSIONS IN THE PULPIT. 
 
 The common infrequency of missionary sermons 
 may be partly due to a lack of a deep interest on the 
 part of the pastor in the work of reaching the heathen. 
 But it is our belief that the greater cause lies in the 
 fact that the pastor is somewhat at a 'loss to know 
 where to turn for suitable material with which to pre- 
 pare his missionary sermons. What shall my mis- 
 sionary sermon be about ? This is the troubling 
 question which the pastor asks when he anticipates a 
 missionary day 
 
 Truly it does seem strange that the wide range of 
 missions does not spontaneously suggest a multi- 
 tude of themes for missionary sermons ! But it is 
 not so greatly strange when one reflects on the fact 
 that the pastor during his three years of theological 
 training is not taught that missions furnish one of 
 the broadest fields in the whole realm of homiletics. 
 
14 THE MISSIONARY PASTOR. 
 
 He is taught the fruitfulness of church history, or 
 of theology, or of exegesis, in furnishing themes for 
 the pulpit ; but as to the themes which missions may 
 give, he is left to imply for himself. 
 
 If then a few lines of subjects for missionary ser- 
 mons can here be suggested, with such references to 
 available literature as will make it possible for the 
 busy pastor to secure the information necessary in a 
 minimum amount of time, a small service will per- 
 haps have been rendered toward making the " annual " 
 give place to a monthly missionary sermon. Pastors 
 who now groan under the burden of one missionary 
 sermon a year may then be happy and eager to pre- 
 pare twelve. 
 
 For the sake of convenience, and also for sugges- 
 tiveness, some of the general kinds of themes for 
 missionary sermons will be indicated, with a few illus- 
 trations under each class.

 People of bur Land. See ' ' The Student Missionary 
 Uprising," and current literature of the different

 5. Sermons on Particular Fields : Literature is 
 abundant for sermons along this line. 
 
 6. Sermons along the Line of the Duty of Christians 
 with Reference to Meeting the Great Need in the For- 
 eign Field. These would be on such themes as : The 
 Duty of Studying Missions ; Why Should Every 
 Christian Give to Missions ; Incentives for Becoming 
 Missionaries ; The Duty of Praying for Missions. 
 
 MISSIONS IN THE PRAYER-MEETING. 
 
 1. Nothing is more lamentable in our church life 
 than that the monthly concert of prayer has very 
 largely ceased to be observed. When in this the 
 Church pleaded that doors might be opened, God cut 
 in sunder their bars of iron and blocked them open. 
 Great spiritual outpourings upon the field have al- 
 ways been preceeded by occasions of special prayer, 
 and in numerous instances they have been contem- 
 poraneous with particular seasons of prayer in the 
 home church, for the work. Let the monthly concert 
 of prayer for the spread of the gospel among the na- 
 tions be re-established in our churches. ' ' Ask, and 
 it shall be given you. " 
 
 2. Characteristics of a good missionary prayer- 
 meeting : — 
 
Missionary methods. 17 
 
 (1) Well planned and prepared for. Nothing will 
 kill a missionary meeting quicker than poor prepara- 
 tion. We cannot generalize on missions ; we must 
 know/ac^s and tell them. 
 
 (2) Good topics — not antediluvian subjects. 
 
 (3) Good maps and charts. Appeal to the eye as 
 well as to the ear. 
 
 (4) Intensely real prayers. Intercede for the nations. 
 
 3. For topics see Chapter II, and '' Missions in the 
 Study." 
 
 4. Suggestive hints : — 
 
 (1) Have several persons assigned to take part in 
 the meeting, and do not let them begin with, ' ' I have 
 been requested to speak on this subject," or "I have 
 been too busy to prepare myself as much as I would 
 have liked, but ." 
 
 (2) Get some real missionary music, and have it sung. 
 
 (3) Have a new missionary chart at each meeting. 
 See for suggestions, Chapter V. Get these made by 
 some of the young people of the church. 
 
 (4) Distribute bright, interesting pamphlets and 
 leaflets occasionally. 
 
 (5) Make the missionary prayer-meeting the most 
 attractive and interesting meeting possible. Make 
 people feel that they have missed much if they have 
 missed this meeting. 
 
 MISSIONS IN PASTORAL VISITATION. 
 
 1. Interest by direct social conversation. The 
 missionary pastor should go loaded with a fund of 
 missionary anecdote and illustration. His indexed 
 2 
 
18 THE MISSIONARY PASTOR. 
 
 reference book is to furnish him with the material. 
 
 2. Introduce missionary literature into the homes, 
 and get it read. Refer to special articles appearing 
 in late numbers of the church missionary periodical, 
 or to recent events of special interest in the fields. 
 Urge subscription to the periodical. Refer to special 
 parts of missionary books or pamphlets you have re- 
 cently read ; arouse interest in them, and offer to 
 loan them. 
 
 3. Awaken them to the grandeur of a missionary 
 career for their children. Tell of John G. Paton, the 
 apostle to the New Hebrides, dedicated by his pa- 
 rents at his birth, to the work of a missionary. The 
 only true greatness is to be great with Him, and He 
 accepts such gifts from parents. 
 
 4. Increase the membership of the various mission- 
 ary societies and classes, and attendance at the mis- 
 sionary meetings in the church. 
 
 5. Reach the great neglected class — the men. The 
 women and young people have no right to a monoply 
 of study, prayer, and work for missions. Yet as 
 things are now, the true strength of the church is 
 scarcely touched. 
 
 MISSIONS IN THE YOUNG PEOPLE'S SOCIETY. 
 
 1. Its Monthly Missionary Meeting. — Topics should 
 be suggested. The committee should plan thoroughly 
 for each meeting, not leaving it simply to the leader 
 to develop. (See Chapter II.) The committee can get 
 very valuable suggestions from the Student Volunteer. 
 (See Chapter IV of this book.) 
 
MISSIONARY METHODS, 19 
 
 2. A Missionary Library. — It is essential to a 
 growth of interest and interesting missionary meet- 
 ings. Each member might contribute a book. The 
 library should be accessible and well cared for. If kept 
 in the pastor's study, he could most effectually stimu- 
 late and guide the development of the missionary 
 spirit in the society. The Missionary Committee 
 should see to it that the literature is read. 
 
 3. Missionary /Socials. 
 
 (1) Missionary Book Social. Each lady repre- 
 sents a missionary book which she has been asked to 
 read. She is called for by gentlemen by her book 
 name and is to reply only to questions that relate to 
 the contents of the book which she represents. 
 
 (2) Missionary Nugget Social. Quotations from 
 great missionaries are distributed, and a prize is given 
 to the one who can tell the largest number of the au- 
 thors. 
 
 (3) Missionary Geography Social. Gentlemen are 
 assigned the names of missionaries. Ladies are 
 assigned the names of places in which these mission- 
 aries worked. The missionaries are then to find their 
 proper places. 
 
 4. Missionary Study Circles. — In some societies the 
 members are divided into eight or ten groups, each 
 group studying some particular field. At a certain 
 time a union gathering of all the groups gives an op- 
 portunity to exchange ideas regarding different coun- 
 tries. In other societies there is but one group 
 studying some particular course. The importance of 
 
20 THE MISSIONARY PASTOR. 
 
 missionary-study classes among the young people, or- 
 ganized and kept vigorous through stimulation by the 
 pastor, cannot be over-estimated. In the "course of a 
 few years it will mean an intelligent missionary 
 church membership with profound conviction on the 
 subject of missions. For courses, see Chapter III. 
 
 5. Missionai^y Giving in Young People's Society. — 
 Each society should support or help support some 
 worker in the foreign field. From twent3^-five to 
 forty dollars will support a native student in a 
 missionary school. From thirty to sixty dollars will 
 support a Bible woman or colporter. From seventy- 
 five to one hundred and fifty dollars will support 
 a native preacher, etc. A society of one hundred 
 members giving an average of five cents per week per 
 member would raise two hundred and sixty dollars 
 per year, etc. 
 
 MISSIONS IN THE SUNDAY-SCHOOL. 
 
 1. The importance of this is to train the children 
 while they are yet young to give mission work its 
 proper place in their lives as followers of Christ. 
 
 2. Talking to the Sunday-school on missions. 
 Principles are best fastened in the hearts of children 
 by concrete illustrations. The pastor should fre- 
 quently tell some missionary anecdote or describe 
 some missionary need to the children. His indexed 
 reference book should keep a supply of these right 
 at hand. Preach to the children, and your talks will 
 be reproduced by the children to the parents at 
 home. 
 
MISSIONARY METHODS. 21 
 
 3. G-etting the Sunday-school to give to missions. 
 The children should be interested in some special ob- 
 ject ; e. g., keeping a child in school, or sending the 
 Bible to the heathen, etc. They should be taught to 
 give systematically — a regular amount each week, 
 and if possible money they have earned themselves. 
 Don't use the Sunday-school pennies to hny Sunday- 
 school supplies, but let them all be given to some 
 special object in missions. 
 
 4. Getting children to read missionary books; e. g. 
 "Gilmour and His Boys" or "The Story of John Gr. 
 Paton," and other juvenile missionary books. These 
 two will be intensely interesting to the children, and 
 strong in cultivating a missionary spirit. 
 
 MISSIONS IN THE CHURCH BENEVOLENCES. 
 
 1. It should bring the flush of shame to the face of 
 the Bride of Christ to know that the average Chris- 
 tian congregation spends, each year, nearly fifteen 
 times as much upon its own local expenses as it gives 
 to the work of making her Lord known in the dark 
 places of the earth. Three things are sure. The 
 pastor who does not make it a specific end of his min- 
 istry to develop and apply the resources of his charge 
 in the work of pushing the gospel throughout the 
 world has failed to read his commission aright. 
 The church which does not labor to this end must 
 die a spiritual death, for she has no promise of 
 Christ's presence with her. The individual Christian 
 to whom this is not one of the grave concerns of life 
 has failed to grasp the purpose for which his Lord 
 
22 THE MISSIONARY PASTOR. 
 
 has left him in the world. Such is the vital place in 
 the life of the Church which Christ has given to her 
 missionary work. 
 
 2. Objects that a Church May Support. — The work 
 of its own church Board should always come first. 
 God has given it to them, and he holds them responsi- 
 ble for it. It should also be remembered that the 
 officers of the Board are experienced and judicious, 
 and that the general fund to be distributed by them 
 should be generously supported. Aside from this 
 there are many special objects for which a church 
 itself may assume responsibility : the support of a 
 missionary; the building of church and missionary 
 houses in the field; the meeting of a missionary's 
 traveling expenses to his field; the support of native 
 workers, Bible women, colporters, preachers, etc. 
 The specific amounts necessary for these may be 
 found through correspondence with the Board. 
 
 3. Plan for Raising Money Systematically. — Let 
 each member be asked to subscribe something per 
 week. Let the subscriptions be placed in envelopes 
 and dropped into a box or into the collection plate 
 in the church, and some one be appointed to keep the 
 books. It has been found of great advantage to have 
 a committee for the purpose of devising means for

CHAPTER II 
 
 MISSIONARY MEETINGS. 
 
 It has been very aptly said that successful mission- 
 ary meetings do not happen. Ordinarily we get out of 
 them exactly as much as we put into them. The ma- 
 jority of the following suggested programs have been 
 used in the monthly missionary meetings of the Chris- 
 tian Associations of our colleges. These missionary 
 meetings have come to be recognized as the most inter- 
 esting and best attended of any of the students' relig- 
 ious meetings. The secret of this is in the amount of 
 prayer, thought, and painstaking work which is spent 
 by the participants upon the preparation. 
 
 The outlines are equally suitable for church mis- 
 sionary meetings. They may at least offer suggestive 
 thoughts to the missionary pastor in developing mis- 
 sionary programs. In his efforts to stimulate this life 
 in his young people's society it is hoped that they will 
 be especially helpful. The society is a strategic point 
 in the church life. Its members will soon form the 
 church. The monthly missionary meeting of the so- 
 ciety is therefore a point of especial care to the mis- 
 sionary pastor. In his placing these outlines in the 
 hands of the missionary committee of the society, the 
 
 following suggestions are offered : — 
 
 [23] 
 
24 THE MISSIONARY PASTOR. 
 
 1. They must expect to pay the same price for suc- 
 cess which has been required in the past. Christ 
 honors with his presence only those who honor Him 
 with their pains. 
 
 2. The committee should take complete charge of, 
 and be accounted responsible for, the development of 
 the program. They should select the leader and other 
 participants and supervise so far as is wise the pre- 
 paration up to the time of the meeting. The success 
 of the meeting depends upon this wise and thorougli 
 preliminary work. 
 
 3. It is a part of their work, in order to a successful 
 meeting, to review the literature of the subject so 
 that they are not only able to refer the participants 
 to the books to be used, but can cite them to the ex- 
 act portions bearing on the subject. The frequent 
 use of maps and charts will be found to add greatly 
 to the interest and permanency of the results of the 
 meetings. 
 
 4. The selection of the leader should be made with 
 great care. He should be both spiritual and firm. 
 In general it is better for him not to be the most 
 prominent speaker. He will have his full share of 
 work if he makes thorough preparation for his part as 
 leader. Upon him depends the swing of the meeting. 
 Be the preliminary work of the committee ever so 
 good, its effectiveness may be largely defeated by a 
 weak or poorly prepared leader. 
 
 5. The leader should have thoroughly in hand every 
 phase of the subject, even though he makes no speech, 
 and be ready with apt comment, appropriate songs, 
 
MISSIONARY MEETINGS. 25 
 
 or pungent missionary nuggets. His opening script- 
 ure should be appropriate and carefully studied, that it 
 may be effectively read. The most unforgivable thing 
 is a slovenly reading of Grod's word. He should be 
 tactful but firm in the limitation of the speakers to 
 their allotted time ; he should see to it that the meet- 
 ing is opened and closed promptly at the hour fixed ; 
 and it is for him, at the close, to converge and point, 
 in the best manner possible, the lessons of the meet- 
 ing in their immediate application to the lives of 
 those present. 
 
 6. Ordinarily it is far better to have short, compact 
 talks than the reading of papers or essays. The time 
 allotted to each speaker should be determined before- 
 hand by the committee, and such precautions taken 
 as will secure their limitations to it. Thorough work 
 from the beginning of the committee's preparation to 
 the conclusion of the meeting, by all participating, 
 cannot be too strongly insisted upon. The last, 
 crowning, determining condition of success is that 
 throughout the whole, the work of the committee, 
 of the leader, of the participants and the meeting it- 
 self, be permeated with the spirit of prayer, ' ' With- 
 out me ye can do nothing." 
 
 The description and prices of most of the literature 
 referred to in the outlines will be found in Chapter IV. 
 
 I. THE PROMINENCE OF MISSIONS IN THE BIBLE. 
 
 1. Let some of the most telling evidences be ad- 
 duced, indicating the prominence of the missionary 
 idea : (1) Among the Patriarchs ; (2) Among the 
 
26 THE MISSIONARY PASTOB. 
 
 Kings (especially in the Psalms of David) ; (3) Among 
 the Prophets; (4) In the Gospels; (5) In the Acts of the 
 Apostles; (6) In the Epistles; (7) In the Apocalypse. 
 2. As suggestive guides in this investigation see 
 Smith's "Short History of Missions," pp. 5-46 ; also 
 tract on "The Bible and Foreign Missions," by 
 Wilder, pp. 23-26, 19. 
 
 II. THE VOICE OF SCRIPTURE ON MISSIONARY WORK. 
 
 This is the subject of one of the best Bible read- 
 ings on missions ever given. It was first printed as a 
 leaflet by the Church Missionary Society of England, 
 and has been used all over the world. It has been re- 
 printed in "The Evangelization of the World" (page 
 Qt^). The headings alone are given in this connection : 
 (1) The ground of missionary work ; (2) The need ; 
 (3) The purpose ; (4) The sin of standing aloof ; (5) 
 The motive ; (6) The ways of helping ; (7) The spirit 
 in which help should be given ; (8) The reward ; (9) 
 The end. 
 
 III. THE NATIONS WITHOUT THE GOSPEL. 
 
 1. The State of tlie Nations WitJiout the Gospel. — 
 See tract on "The Bible and Foreign Missions," by 
 Wilder, pp. 29, 30. 
 
 2. The Susceptibility of All People to Accei^t the 
 Gospel. — See tract, "Ten Lessons on the Bible and 
 Missions," by White, p. 13. 
 
 3. Our Responsibility : (1) To know ; (2) to pray ; 
 (3) to give ; (4) to go. See ' ' Ten Lessons on the 
 Bible and Missions," pp. 7-10. 
 
MISSIONARY MEETINGS. 27 
 
 Note. — In presenting any one of the above topics let 
 one person give the entire group of passages upon a given 
 heading or subheading, rather tlian have but one passage 
 given by one person — unless there be but one passage upon 
 that phase of the topic. If there are many headings as, for 
 example, under the second topic, let each person give but 
 three or four of the most telling references. These should 
 be arranged in the most logical and impressive order, and 
 where necessary the setting of a passage should be given. 
 Let special pains be taken to have the passages given so 
 distinctly that every one may hear and understand. This 
 involves not only clear articulation, but also a thoughtful 
 and prayerful study of the verses in advance. 
 
 IV. PRAYER AND MISSIONS. 
 
 1 . Scripture Passages enjoining Prayer for Missions. — 
 Let five minutes be devoted to a clear reading of the 
 most striking commands, exhortations, and incentives. 
 
 2. The Place of Prayer in the Missionary Work of 
 the Early Church. — Let a second person read, in the 
 right spirit, from the middle of page four to the close 
 of the paragraph on page seven of Speer's tract on 
 "Prayer and Missions. " 
 
 3. The Influence of Prayer in Starting the Modem 
 Missionary Movement of the Church. — Let one of the 
 strongest and most spiritual speakers give a pointed, 
 interesting ten-minute speech on this aspect of the 
 topic. He will find sufficient material in chapter 
 fourteen of Smith's <' Short History of Christian 
 Missions," and in the chapter on the Holy Spirit's 
 Preparation in Missions, in Gordon's < ' Holy Spirit in 
 Missions." Pages eight to ten in Speer's << Prayer 
 and Missions " give other essential facts. 
 
28 THE MISSIONARY PASTOR. 
 
 4. Incidents Showing the Power of Prayer in Mis- 
 sions. — Ten miuutes spent in a concise statement of 
 such incidents, would prove most interesting and 
 stimulating. Speer's pamphlet, pages ten to twenty- 
 one, and Gordon's "Holy Spirit in Missions," abound 
 in just the kind of facts wanted. 
 
 5. Prayer for Laborers. — If there be ^mple time 
 at this point in the meeting let some one read the 
 most telling extracts from the chapter on Prayer 
 Provides Laborers, in Murray's "With Christ in the 
 School of Prayer." If it will crowd the next and 
 closing order of the program, however, let it be 
 omitted. 
 
 6. Prayer. — Let the meeting close with a number 
 of brief and fervent prayers of thanksgiving and in- 
 tercession. Remember especially the Student Volun- 
 teer Movement, that its members may go forth in 
 larger and larger numbers, and that its watch-cry — 
 the evangelization of the world in this generation — 
 may be realized. 
 
 Note. — Only a few references to sources of information 
 have been given above. Should the speakers desire to go 
 into the subject more fully let them review books like 
 " The Evangelization of the World," "The Story of the 
 China Inland Mission," " The Miracles of Missions," ''The 
 New Acts of the Apostles," and the Lives of Brainerd, 
 Martyn, Livingstone, and Paton. 
 
 V. MISSIONARY MOTIVES. 
 
 A profitable way to treat the topic is to distribute 
 the four main divisions given below among four 
 speakers^ having each spend only six minutes in pre- 
 
MIS8I0NABT MEETINGS. 29 
 
 senting his ''motives" in the most concise and telling 
 way. Particular care should be exercised to give the 
 meeting a strong personal bent. Definite prayer for 
 guidance, decision and the grace of steadfastness 
 should be a marked feature of the meeting. 
 
 1. Why Should I Study Missions f 
 
 (1) Because, as a student, my education is sadly 
 deficient if I am ignorant concerning this, the most 
 important work in the world. 
 
 (2) Because a study of missions will greatly increase 
 my faith in Christianity and Christianity's God. It is 
 God at work. 
 
 (3) Because, as a Christian, I cannot otherwise 
 grasp the full mission of the Church. 
 
 (4) Because, as one who has a personal duty in 
 regard to missions, I cannot intelligently discharge 
 this duty without informing mj'self on the subject. 
 
 (5) Because, if I stay in this country, I must be 
 intelligent on missions in order to stimulate others to 
 the work. 
 
 (6) Because, if I expect to go as a missionary, I 
 need this study as a preparation for my life's service. 
 
 2. Why Should I Give to Missions? 
 
 (1) Because it is the most paying investment. 
 
 (2) Because of the joy that comes to the giver. 
 
 (3) Because I am only a steward of the money that 
 God has given me, and I must use it for His glory. 
 
 (4) Because I am put to shame by the liberality of 
 heathen converts. 
 
 (5) Because it is God's will that missionaries should 
 go and that I should help to send them. Bom. 10 : 14. 
 
30 THE MISSIONARY PASTOR. 
 
 (6) Because I am grateful to God for what He has 
 given me. John 3 : 16. 
 
 (7) Because souls are dying and I may help save 
 them. 
 
 3. Why Should I Pray for Missions? 
 
 (1) Because the world needs prayer. 
 
 (2) Because in the past missions have always pros- 
 pered as believing prayer has increased. 
 
 (3) Because God has conditioned the success of 
 missions on prayer. 
 
 (4) Because the missionaries and native converts 
 want me to pray for them. 
 
 (5) Because I am commanded to pray. Matt. 
 9 : 37, 38. 
 
 (6) Because I can plead great promises. 
 
 (7) Because the prayer of faith is always answered. 
 
 (8) Because Christ is praying for those for whom 
 He died. 
 
 4. Why Should I Be a Missionary f 
 
 (1) Because in none other than Christ is there 
 salvation. 
 
 (2) Because multitudes have not heard the gospel 
 and are dying. 
 
 (3) Because the doors of the nations are open. 
 
 (4) Because the cry, from the Boards, the mis- 
 sionaries, and the heathen converts, for more mis- 
 sionaries, is urgent, unceasing, imperative. 
 
 (5) Because Christ says, " Go ye into all the world. " 
 
 (6) Because Christ gave up everything that I might 
 be saved. — Am I unwilling to sacrifice this little that 
 others might be saved? 
 
MISSIONARY MEETINGS 31 
 
 VI. FOREIGN MISSIONS AFTER A CENTURY. 
 
 One meeting each year should be given to a sur- 
 vey of the mission field as a whole, and in this a 
 special effort should be made to bring the facts and 
 statistics up to date. The recent issue of the book, 
 ''Foreign Missions After a Century," by Dennis, 
 makes this quite possible. It is the latest review 
 of the world-field ; its statistics are recent, and it is 
 admirably written, A copy of it should be in every 
 church. The following headings are taken from the 
 book, where abundant material may be found con- 
 cerning them. 
 
 1. Present Day Calls from Mission Fields (pp. 
 55-147). — A blackboard should be employed for the 
 purpose of presenting from three to six of the most 
 important and most telling statistical facts about 
 each country treated in this section.* It will save 
 time, and also aid in fixing the attention and fa- 
 cilitate accurate note-taking. All missionary workers 
 should be in possession of these recent statistics. 
 Too many are using missionary statistics which are 
 entirely out of date. 
 
 2. Present Day Conflicts of the Foreign Fields (pp. 
 151-193). — The nine conflicts treated in this section 
 should be succinctly and clearly stated. An illustra- 
 tion should be given in connection with each one. 
 Even the briefest statement of these conflicts will 
 awaken keen desire in many to want to know more 
 about them, and will lead them not only to pray 
 more, but also to pray more definitely and fervently 
 for missions. 
 
32 THE MISSIONARY PASTOR. 
 
 3. Present Day Problems in Tlieory and 3IetJiod in 
 Missions (pp. 194-242). — The plan for the pre- 
 sentation of this division should be much the same 
 as the one preceding. 
 
 4. Present Day Summary of Success of Foreign 
 Missions (pp. 297-346). — Here also the blackboard 
 may be employed, to economize time as well as to 
 put certain facts more clearly and forcibly. 
 
 VII. SOME PRESENT BARRIERS TO MISSIONARY SUCCESS. 
 
 Scripture. — That part of 1 Sam. 17, which gives 
 the boast of the Philistine giant, and David's answer 
 — with the result ; or some similar account of seri- 
 ous difficulties overcome in the power of the Lord. 
 
 1. Barriers on Account of Customs of tlie People. 
 
 (1) The caste system of India ; (2) Seclusion of 
 women; (3) Polygamy. 
 
 2. Struggles of Non- Christian Systems to Maintain 
 Sup)remacy. 
 
 (1) The exclusiveness of Mohammedanism ; (2) The 
 anti-foreign reaction in Japan; (3) The galvanizing 
 of Hinduism. 
 
 3. Greed of Christian Nations. 
 
 (1) The opium traffic, and treaty troubles in China. 
 (2) Rum and gunpowder trade in Africa. 
 
 4. Attitude of Christians and Representatives of 
 Christian Nations. 
 
 (1) The wicked lives of many commercial and po- 
 litical representatives of Christian nations, in mission 
 lands; (2) The indiiference to missions and the world- 
 liness of many American Christians. 
 
MISSIONARY MEETINGS. 33 
 
 5. Illustrations of the Past ^Subsidence of Barriers. 
 
 "The Crisis of Missions," by Pierson, is full of 
 such illustrations. Five or six such may be briefly 
 given. 
 
 Note. — These topics are treated in "The Crisis of Mis- 
 sions," by Pierson, and "Foreign Missions After a Cen- 
 tury," by Dennis; also in the Missionary Review of the World, 
 Africa and Rum, June and August '88; Persecution in 
 Turkey, March, '88 ; The Opium Traffic, Aug. '88, Jan. 
 and Dec. '89; Anti-Foreign Reaction in Japan, April and 
 May, '94. 
 
 VIII. THE NEGLECTED CONTINENT. 
 
 1. Let the chairman of the meeting, by way of 
 introduction, give a few facts such as those found 
 on page 167 of «' South America: The Neglected 
 Continent," indicating how little is written and said 
 in the interest of South America. 
 
 2. Let the first speaker briefly present the geo- 
 graphical extent of the continent, comparing portions 
 of it with parts of our own country. Let the same 
 speaker also give the extent of each of the following 
 divisions of the population: Spanish, Portuguese, Ab- 
 origines, Half-cast and mixed population. 
 
 3. The next speaker should have flfteen minutes to 
 make a forcible statement of the spiritual needs of 
 South America. The following points should be 
 brought out clearly: (1) A hasty review showing how 
 many people there are in each country to each mis- 
 sionary, pp. 74-78. (2) The terrible condition of the 
 people owing to the prevailing religion of the con- 
 tinent, pp. 6, 55-57, 72, 81, 126. (3) The need of 
 
 3 
 
34 THE MISSIONARY PASTOR. 
 
 Christian workers compared with the need in the 
 United States, m Great Britain, and also in mission 
 lands, pp. 94-99. (4) The unequal distribution of 
 missionaries on the continent showing that the vast 
 majority of the population is unevangelized, pp. 
 68, 155. 
 
 4. Let the last speaker make an appeal showing 
 the responsibility which rests upon the Christians 
 of America in view of : (1) The foregoing facts show- 
 ing the spiritual destitution of this contiuent. (2) The 
 susceptibility of the people to receive the gospel, 
 pp. 89-92, 151. (3) The providential opening and 
 preparation of the field, p. 170. (4) The proximity 
 and influence of the United States and Canada. 
 
 Note. — All the above references are to "South Am- 
 erica: The Neglected Continent;" see List of Selected 
 Missionary Literature. A careful use of Part II of this one 
 volume will be all that is required to ensure a thorough, 
 interesting, and striking presentation of the topic. It will 
 add force to substitute for the comparisons, statistics and 
 illustrations of the book which pertain chiefly to Great 
 Britain, those relating to North America. It will add 
 greatly to the vividness of the presentation of the topic if 
 the maps and charts on pages 68, 79, 80, 96, 99, 123, of the 
 book just referred to are reproduced on a blackboard or on 
 paper. 
 
 IX. TWO continental evils. 
 
 1. The African Slave Trade. — Let this division of 
 the topic be presented by two speakers. 
 
 (1) First, let there be a ten-minute speech which 
 shall bring out among other things : (a) the extent 
 
MISSIONARY MEETINGS. 35 
 
 of the slave trade in Africa, (b) its consequences, and 
 (c) the duty of Christian nations regarding it. 
 
 (2) Let five minutes be used by a second person in 
 reading extracts from Stanley's "African Slave Trade," 
 or from Chapter VI of " The New World of Central 
 Africa. " 
 
 2. The Asiatic Opium Traffic. — This division of 
 the topic should also be treated by two persons. 
 
 (1) Let one in a ten-minute speech give the most 
 forcible facts showing : (a) the extent of the traffic 
 and its rapid increase, (b) its consequences, and (c) the 
 terrible responsibility resting upon Christian nations. 
 
 (2) Let another read extracts from Chapter VI of 
 "In the Far East." 
 
 Finally, the chairman of the meeting should indicate 
 briefly the responsibility resting upon all Christians 
 for the overthrowal of these two great evils, (a) by 
 creating sentiment against them, (b) by prayer, (c) by 
 gifts, and (d) by life service. The closing moments 
 of the meeting should be given up to definite and 
 united prayer. 
 
 Note. — Sufficient material to make possible a meeting 
 of intense and burning interest can be found in the self- 
 denial number of The Regions Beyond, pp. 21-31. This 
 number is called "The Marathon of To-day." The fol- 
 lowing books contain invaluable information on the topic : 
 Stanley's "African Slave Trade;" Drummond's "Tropical 
 Africa;" "The New World of Central Africa," by Mrs. 
 Guinness (Chapter VI); " In the Far East," by Miss Geral- 
 dine Guinness (Chapter VI); "Records of the Shanghai Con- 
 ference," 1890, (pp. 306-35C) ; "Report of the London Con- 
 ference," 1888, (see Index for "Slavery" and "Opium"). 
 
36 THE MISSIONARY PASTOR, 
 
 The graphic maps on pages 27 and 29 of " The Marathon 
 of To-Day" should be faithfully reproduced on blackboard, 
 paper or cloth. They will add wonderfully to the force of 
 the presentation of the topic. 
 
 X. MEDICAL MISSIONS. 
 
 1. Tlie Importance of Medical Missions. — Let there 
 be a ten-minute carefully prepared speech establishing 
 the great importance of medical missions. Such points 
 as the following may be advanced : (1) The com- 
 mands of Christ ; (2) The teachings of Christ ; 
 (3) The example of Christ ; (4) The practice of the 
 apostles and the early disciples ; (5) Humanitarian 
 considerations ; (6) Relation to evangelism. 
 
 2. The Need of Medical Missions. — A second speaker 
 in ten minutes could show most forcibly the great 
 need of medical missions by elaborating briefly two 
 points: (1) Statistics showing the comparative need 
 of men m the medical profession at home and in 
 mission lands. See ' ' Report of the Detroit Conven- 
 tion," p. 214. (2) Statements and incidents showing 
 the ignorance of medical science, and, worse than 
 that, the terrible practices which prevail in heathen, 
 pagan, and Moslem lands. See "Murdered Millions." 
 
 3. The jSuccess of Medical Missions. — The striking 
 success and influence of medical missions might be 
 shown by a third speaker in ten minutes by giving 
 one fact from the experience of some medical mis- 
 sionary in each of the following countries : (1) China, 
 e. g. , Mackenzie ; (2) India, e. g. , Valentine ; (3) 
 Syria, e. g. , Post ; (4) Persia, e. g. , Grant ; (5) Corea, 
 e. g., Allen. 
 
MISSIONARY MEETINGS. 37 
 
 Note. — It will pay to go to great trouble, if neces- 
 sary, to prepare a chart as follows : On a large sheet 
 of cloth or paper draw two great square diagrams. Let one 
 be black, save a very small white spot in the center, re- 
 presenting one medical missionary to every 2,500,000 people 
 in China. Let the other have a field of white on which 
 are 4000 dots regularl}' distributed, representing the 4000 
 physicians found in America to every 2,500,000. Those 
 who participate in the meeting should read at least the 
 following : " Murdered Millions," by Dowkontt ; in paper, 
 fifteen cents ; " Medical Missions," by Wanless; five cents; 
 ** Medical Missions: Their Claims and Progress," by Lowe; 
 in paper, fifteen cents; "Report of the Detroit Convention 
 of the S. V. M. F. M.;" one dollar. They would also be 
 greatly repaid if they would consult Lowe's larger work on 
 "Medical Missions;" the "Report of the Shanghai Con^ 
 ference " held in 1877 (especially the paper by Dr. Kerr), 
 and the "Report of the London Conference" held in 1888 
 (both volumes). 
 
 There are no topics which are designed to awaken 
 so much interest and to inspire so many lives as those 
 which bring out in a striking and suggestive manner 
 the dominant facts, forces, and motives in the lives 
 of the leaders of the missionary host. It is preemin- 
 ently true, however, of such topics, that for successful 
 treatment they require the most rigidly thorough 
 preparation. It is useless to attempt them except 
 with this understanding. But they amply repay the 
 labor and where carried through, are unsurpassed in 
 their convincing and inspiring power. 
 
 XI. FIVE MODEL MISSIONARY VOLUNTEERS. 
 
 l.'The following group would aflford a strong com- 
 bination : Brainerd, Martyn, Neesima, Mackay, Keith- 
 
38 THE MISSIONARY PASTOR. 
 
 Falconer. They would also stand for work in five 
 different countries. 
 
 2. Let the missionary committee select with great 
 care five speakers. Either some one of their number 
 or some other might act as leader. Each speaker 
 should be limited to a certain time, and should be 
 called down without fail if he is not through when his 
 time has expired. 
 
 3. Let the five participants give terse speeches and 
 not read papers. In presenting each character some 
 such outline as this might be helpful: (1) Brainerd's 
 call to missionary service. (2) Chief elements in his 
 preparation. (3) Three of his leading qualifications. 
 (4) His achievements. (5) Chief lesson from his life 
 for students of to-day. Other points can be substi- 
 tuted for any or all of these. Be brief, clear, pointed, 
 suggestive. All this implies very careful preparation. 
 
 XII. TEN MOMENTOUS DECISIONS. 
 
 1. Let ten persons give the reasons why the fol- 
 lowing men decided to become missionaries : Carey, 
 Duff, Morrison, Judson, Livingstone, Moffat, Patteson, 
 Paton, Wilson, Crowther. Changes may be made in 
 this list. 
 
 2. Here too, each speaker must be limited to two 
 or three minutes. 
 
 3. Each speaker had best confine himself to giving 
 the two or three leading reasons or facts which in- 
 fluenced the decision. 
 
 4. Wherever possible back up the reasons with 
 exact quotations from the missionary himself, or from 
 his biographer. 
 
MISSIONARY MEETINGS. 39 
 
 XIII. SECRET OF ENDURING SPIRITUAL INFLUENCE; 
 
 ILLUSTRATED FROM THE LIVES OF FIVE 
 
 MISSIONARY LEADERS. 
 
 1. Neesima — single, indomitable, unselfish purpose. 
 
 2. Paton — instant and constant dependence upon 
 God. 
 
 3. Livingstone — a holy life. 
 
 4. Judson — individual effort for immortal souls. 
 
 5. Paul — living unto God. 
 
 XIV. FOUR GREAT STRATEGIC MOVES IN THE CONQUEST 
 OF THE WORLD. 
 
 1. The Founding of Educational Missions in India, 
 by Alexander Duff. 
 
 2. The Founding of Doshisha College in Japan, by 
 Joseph Hardy Neesima. 
 
 3. The Exploration of Africa, by David Livingstone. 
 
 4. The Founding of Robert College in Turkey, by 
 Cyrus Hamlin. 
 
 Note. — Under each head the following points should be 
 distinctly brought out : (1) How was the man fitted and led 
 to undertake the work ? (2) What was his own declared ob- 
 ject in it? (3) What part has it played as a factor in the con- 
 quest of that countrj^ for Christ? The best literature on the 
 subject is the "Life of Alexander Dufl"," by Smith; "Life 
 and Letters of Joseph Hardy Neesima;" "Personal Life 
 of David Livingstone," by Blaikie; "My Life and Times," 
 by Hamlin. 
 
 XV. THREE TRIUMPHS OP FAITH. 
 
 1. Robert and Mary Moffat^ at Kuruman. 
 A triumph won through patient waiting, — 
 thirteen years of preparation before the ingathering j 
 
40 THE MISSIONARY PASTOR. 
 
 see ''Life of Robert and Mary Moffat," pp. 152- 
 158. 
 
 2. The Moravians in the Danish West Indies. 
 
 A triumph won through sinking self in service. 
 Within fifteen years fifty missionaries found their 
 graves on St. Croix and St. Thomas while laboring 
 among the negro slaves ; but at the expiration of the 
 first century of missionary effort 13,333 had been ad- 
 mitted to the communion. See ' ' Moravian Mis- 
 sions," by Thompson, pp. 79-95. 
 
 3. John Baton of the New Hebrides. 
 
 A triumph won through faith in God's power over 
 nature, in the sinking of the well and the consequent

 197. 
 
 Note. — The leader might well open with a reading of the 
 eleventh chapter of Hebrews, concluding with a few brief 
 remarks applying the passage to the subject of the meeting. 
 The speakers should be limited strictly to the point indi- 
 cated — the triumph of faith. Enough of the story should 
 be presented to give the setting. The main effort should 
 be to set forth tersely the nature of the trial, and the tri- 
 umph which God gave. The remainder of the time might 
 well be taken up in songs and prayers of praise.

 Note. — An occasional meeting given to recounting the 
 marvels of grace which God has wrought on the mission 
 field is not only very entertaining but helpful and inspiring. 
 It arouses the interest of many as nothing else will. The 
 instances and pages cited are taken from " The New Acts 
 of the Apostles," by Pierson. They are all remarkable in- 
 stances of God's modern miracles (John 14 : 12). The book 
 should be possessed b}' every missionary worker. It will 
 furnish material for many other equally valuable pro- 
 grams. 
 
CHAPTER III. 
 
 MISSIONARY CLASSES. 
 
 One ambition of the missionary pastor is to get his 
 people to studying missions. Missionary information 
 is the tap-root of missionary activity. The missionary 
 class strikes more fundamentally at the life of the 
 church than even the missionary meeting, for it is the 
 constantly recuring attention and study which most 
 certainly begets the life-molding conviction. The 
 missionary meeting is largely dependent upon the 
 class, also, for its continued success. The class is 
 the fountain from which the missionary pastor draws 
 the water to supply his church. 
 
 Usually a few very practical difficulties lie in the 
 way of the pastor as he attempts to enlist the older 
 members of his flock in such study. Lack of time, 
 lack of interest, lack of sj^stematic habits of study, 
 all these and many other obstacles will be presented 
 in the average church-member. The pastor's chief 
 hope in the matter of establishing systematic study, 
 lies in his young people. They have time, and their 
 interest and zeal is more easily aroused. Nor, when 
 his young people have become thoroughly aroused, 
 [42] 
 
MISSIONARY CLASSES. 43 
 
 will he be surprised to find the older members coming 
 into his class. 
 
 Concerning the leadership of such a class it will be 
 a healthy stimulus to some young man or woman in 
 the congregation to be chosen as leader, if one can be 
 found who possesses the qualities of a student, who 
 can plan work for others, who will hold the interest of 
 the class, and who is willing, for the sake of doing 
 this great thing for the Lord, to devote time and 
 study to the work. Otherwise it is better for the pas- 
 tor himself, even at a heavy personal sacrifice, to 
 take charge of the class. He can develop a leader for 
 the class from among its members, as time goes by. 
 
 The outlines of courses presented in this chapter are 
 given as suggestive of plans which might be followed. 
 Similar ones appear from time to time in The Stu- 
 dent Volunteer. They have all been pursued in 
 different places and have been proven of great value 
 in arousing interest. Whatever course is taken up, 
 all the literature necessary to its proper pursuance 
 should be procured. Some of the courses given are 
 arranged to be carried on with a single text-book. In 
 these courses each member of the class should own a 
 copy of this book. In the other courses a number of 
 books will be required for continual reference. These 
 should be procured for the use of the whole class and 
 cared for by a librarian. It is better to take the simp- 
 ler and easier courses first. 
 
 Two methods may be used in conducting the class. 
 In the recitation method a lesson is assigned before- 
 hand and prepared by each member of the class. At 
 
44 THE MISSIONARY PASTOR. 
 
 the meeting they are expected to recite on the as>^ 
 signed lesson. In the topical method, topics are as- 
 signed to the members ; each works up his own topic, 
 and comes prepared on that alone. The best plan is 
 probably a combination, in varying parts, of these 
 two methods. Whatever plan is adopted, it should 
 be borne in mind that continual poor preparation 
 means the death of interest. Every member should 
 make it a point of conscience to be thoroughly pre- 
 pared. It is a class for study, and not for conversa- 
 tion merely. 
 
 In order to stimulate the interest, members may be 
 made responsible for conducting some public mission- 
 ary meeting, such as the monthly missionary meeting 
 of the young people's society or a regular evening 
 service of the church. Preparation for such meetings 
 will awaken greater enthusiasm in the members of the 
 class. 
 
 It is often possible and advisable to form more 
 than one such class in a single church. Several pas- 
 tors have successfully organized as many as ten 
 classes in the one church. A circle of ten or twelve 
 meeting at some private house is better than one 
 twice that size. If the class is too large, it should be 
 divided, and a second leader be chosen. 
 
 Whatever course is undertaken, or plan adopted, 
 the leader should realize that much depends upon him 
 to awaken and maintain the interest in the work. He 
 has a grave responsibility before his Lord. He should 
 give himself constantly to the study of methods and 
 means, in the spirit of prayer. While he should more 
 
MISSIONARY CLASSES. 45 
 
 thoroughly prepare each lesson than any member of 
 his class, yet he is most a leader who gets the most 
 work out of the class. It is the class which is to 
 recite, not the leader. 
 
 The missionary pastor, as he stands at the thresh- 
 old of the introduction of missionary study, is gazing 
 through a door of mighty opportunity, and of tre- 
 mendous possibility for the kingdom of our Lord. 
 May he be anointed with faith to see his privilege 
 and discharge his great responsibility! 
 
 THE APOSTOLIC CHURCH AND MISSIONS. 
 
 STUDY I. THE MISSION OF THE CHURCH. 
 
 1. What Was This Mission? 
 
 (1) Testifying to that which they knew to be true, — 
 (a) regarding the life, death and resurrection of 
 Christ; (b) Kegarding the work of the Holy Spirit. 
 (2) Building up a church of which Christ was the 
 head. (3) Preparing and sending out further wit- 
 nesses. 
 
 2. To Whom Was This Entrusted? 
 
 (1) To original witnesses of Christ. (2) To the 
 early converts. (3) To the church at Jerusalem. (4) 
 To other churches. (Study mission of the church at 
 Antioch.) (5) Not to unbelievers or selfish followers. 
 (6) Not even to the angels of heaven. 
 
 3. For Whom Was the Mission Given? 
 
 (1) For the lost sheep of the house of Israel. It 
 showed (a) that Jesus of Nazareth was the Messiah ; (b) 
 that Christ is a mightier justifier than Moses. (2) To 
 
46 THE MISSIONARY PASTOR. 
 
 Gentiles in all lands, (a) It declared one God, a lov- 
 ing and forgiving Father, revealed through his Son, 
 Jesus Christ, the Redeemer, (b) It emphasized a spir- 
 itual, instead of a carnal worship. 
 
 4. When Was the Mission to he Carried onf 
 (1) As soon as the power of the Holy Spirit was re- 
 ceived. (2) When the Holy Spirit opened the way. (3) 
 As long as men or nations remain unevangelized. (4) 
 Until Christ comes to judgment. 
 
 Personal Question. — If this work was gladly under- 
 taken by eleven men to whom Christ gave his com- 
 mission, is there reason for 116,000,000 Christians 
 fearing that they cannot accomplish the evangeliza- 
 tion of the world? 
 
 STUDY II. THE THEME IN THE PREACHING OF 
 THE CHURCH.

 Christ's theme was, and, if possible, a concise state- 
 ment of it which will include all. (2) What is His 
 theme in the Sermon on the Mount? (3) Is His theme 
 a new one? (4) What is the theme of the message He 
 sent to be preached among all nations?

 the disciples actually preach? How does the Resur- 
 
MISSIONARY CLASSES. 47 
 
 rection bear upon the Kingdom? (f) Does the world 
 still need the preaching of this theme? (2) Peter's 
 theme : Study his theme in his sermon at Pentecost, 
 on Solomon's porch, before the High Priest, before 
 Cornelius, and in his epistles. (3) Philip's theme : 
 From the account of his work in three fields, discover 
 his great theme. (4) Paul's theme : Find it in his 
 preaching and teaching. Look for it in his work at 
 Damascus, Antioch of Pisidia, Thessalonica, Mars' 
 Hill, Ephesus, Rome; also search for it in his 
 epistles. 
 
 Personal Questions. — In view of the fact that I 
 know what Christ's theme was, what should my daily 
 theme be? Have I the personal experience which 
 qualifies me to witness for Christ? Can I testify to 
 that I do not know? Am I winning souls to Christ 
 now, as I present this theme? Will this present ex- 
 perience fit me to testify to Christ in foreign lands?

 THE HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE 
 MISSIONARY IDEA. 
 
 Note. — The purpose of the present course is not to 
 furnish the basis for a complete study of the history of 
 missions. Such a course would necessarily be too long to 
 be generally practicable. The object is rather to illustrate 
 by historical examples the growth of the missionary idea 
 as fostered by God throughout the ages, in order to bring 
 overwhelming conviction to the student regarding the im- 
 perative obligation resting upon Christians to-day to carry 
 the gospel to every creature. The course is based upon a 
 single book which may serve as a text-book, viz. " Smith's 
 Short History of Missions."

 ions were losing their power over men ; (e) when the 
 Jews were scattered over the whole earth and thus

 which made him a model missionary. (2) Study 
 with a similar aim the life of some successful modern 
 missionary, Paton, Mackay, or Thoburn, for example. 
 
MISSIONARY CLASSES. C3 
 
 (3) Qualifications for service as indicated by the re- 
 quirements of the field. (4) Qualifications emphasized 
 by workers on the field. See literature above. 
 
 2. Results of the Study. 
 
 Group the qualifications under the following heads : 
 
 (1) Qualifications affecting the missionary's inner life; 
 
 (2) his external life as a representative of Christ; (3) his 
 work with individuals ; (4) his work as a civilizer ; (5) as 
 an educator; (6) as a literary man; (7) as an evange- 
 list; (8) as a leader in the mission-church. 
 
 3. Lack of Ideal Qualijications. 
 
 Let band members cite illustrations from their read- 
 ings of persons who were largely used, though not 
 possessed of many of these qualifications. 
 
 STUDY II. CHOICE OF A FIELD. 
 
 Preliminary Word. — It is assumed that the student 
 seeks divine guidance in this matter and heeds clear, 
 spiritual indications more than intellectual ones. . . . 
 The <' Encyclopedia of Missions," and general Cyclo- 
 pedias will furnish all the data required for the study. 
 
 1. Considerations Centering in the Individual. 
 
 (1) Choice of field as influenced by a ''burden" for 
 a given country. Distinguish between a divinely im- 
 posed burden and one due to ignorance of the world's 
 needs. (2) Choice as affected by fields occupied by 
 one's Board. Should one leave a denominational board 
 if its fields are unsuited to one ? (3) Choice as affec- 
 ted by one's physical powers. Study climate and preva- 
 lent diseases of proposed field. (4) Choice as influ- 
 enced by one's intellectual power. 
 
64 THE MISSIONARY PASTOR. 
 
 2. Considerations Connected with the People of the 
 Field. 
 
 (1) Choice in view of the numbers capable of being 
 reached. What fields are most inviting, in point 
 of (a) density of population ; (b) degree of religious lib- 
 erty enjoyed; (c) religious nature of the people; (d) 
 openness to evangelization? (2) Choice as affected 
 by need. Where is the greatest destitution ? (3) 
 Choice as affected by potential destiny of nations. 
 Which are to be most influential in the world ? 
 
 3. Biblical Considerations. 
 
 How should choice be affected by, (1) varying de- 
 grees of responsibility among the nations, Eze. 33 ; (2) 
 by Christ's order of evangelization, Acts 1 : 8 ; (3) 
 by the Pauline practice of occupying strategic centers ; 
 (4) by the command to preach the Gospel as a witness 
 preceding the end. Matt. 24 : 14 ?

CHAPTER IV. 
 
 MISSIONARY LITERATURE. 
 
 It was Dean Yaughan who said, ' ' Know and you 
 will feel. Know and you will pray. Know and j^ou 
 will help. You will be ashamed of the sluggishness, 
 of the isolation, of the selfishness, which has made 
 3'ou think only of your own people and your father's 
 house." Information is the key to interest, " Facts 
 are the fuel which feeds the fire of missions." 
 
 If one of the chief ends for which a Christian con- 
 gregation exists is to give the gospel to the world, 
 and if one of the chief ends for which a minister of 
 the gospel is placed of God in his congregation is to 
 make this actual in its life and if one of the most 
 valuable, almost essential, means for accomplishing 
 this is good missionary literature, is it too much to say 
 that in every congregation and at the command of 
 every pastor there should be at least a small, well 
 selected missionary library? This does not mean a 
 large expenditure of funds. There is scarcely any 
 church but what, if the matter were wisely and defi- 
 nitely planned, and systematically pressed, could 
 have a library which would be amply sufficient. No 
 pastor under the obligation of his position to culti- 
 
 [83] 
 
84 THE MISSIONARY PASTOR. 
 
 vate the missionary resources of his church can afford 
 to be without it. Many a missionar}' who to-day is 
 laboring in the foreign field was led to consider the 
 question af his going by the reading of some mission- 
 ary book. Can we doubt that God will honor the 
 same agency in the future? 
 
 After deciding the number of volumes to be secured, 
 the proportion to allow to the different lines of mis- 
 sionary material is of importance. The following is a 
 well balanced apportionment: 1. Books calculated to 
 stimulate general interest in foreign missions, e. g. , 
 Dennis's " Foreign Missions After a Century;" — five 
 per cent. 2. Books on the general history of mis- 
 sions, e.g., Smith's " Short History of Missions;" — 
 five per cent. 3. Books setting forth the particular 
 phases of missionary work (medical, evangelistic, edu- 
 cational, etc.), e. g., Lowe's "Medical Missions;" — 
 ten per cent. 4. Biographies of prominent mission- 
 aries; they should include both pioneers, and recent 
 workers, and should be distributed with regard to 
 field of work, phase of work, and sex ; — twenty per 
 cent. 5. Books of didactic character, giving the 
 fundamental principles of missions, e. g. , Harris's 
 " Great Commission;" — five per cent.- 6. Books on 
 the various religious systems of pagan lands ; — ten per 
 cent. 7. Standard works on the different fields written 
 from the missionary point of view (Africa including 
 Eg3'pt and Madagascar, Alaska, Burmah, China, 
 India, Japan, Korea, Mexico and Central America, 
 Papal Europe, Persia, Siam, South America, Turkish 
 Empire, the Islands of the sea); — thirty per cent. 
 
MISSIONARY LITERATURE. 85 
 
 8. Books on city missions; — five per cent. 9. Books 
 on home missions; — five per cent. 10. Books of 
 peculiar interest to the special class of readers for 
 whose use the library is being secured; such as his- 
 tory of denominational work, etc. ; — five per cent. 
 There should also be the Missionary Review of the 
 Worlds for the more general current missionary dis- 
 cussions and information, the church missionary 
 periodical, for denomiuational work, and the Student 
 Volunteer for its exceedingly valuable store of mis- 
 sionary study courses, meeting programs, suggested 
 methods, nuggets, etc. 
 
 A number of plans have been used successfully in 
 securing such libraries: 1. Make out an exact list of 
 books desired; do not be too modest to desire large 
 things ; ' ' Prayer and pains through faith in Christ 
 Jesus will do anything." 2. Interview the church 
 fathers and lay the matter before them presenting the 
 extreme importance and desirabilit}^ of such a move. 
 An individual contribution from each would go far 
 to further the plan. 3. Present the matter to the 
 young people's society and enlist the members in a 
 personal canvass. Have them get a number of peo- 
 ple to each of whom give the price of a specific book 
 and have the book inscribed as presented by that per- 
 son. 4. The women's missionary society in the local 
 church has never yet had its resources exhausted. 
 This would be a cause after their own heart. 
 
 Onlj^ one other suggestion remains to be made. 
 No matter how good a tool may be, it is of little use 
 so long as it stays on the shelf. It is so with a book. 
 
86 THE MTSSTONARY PASTOR. 
 
 Wlieii the literature has been obtained, steadily and 
 steadfastly, as under the sanction of a supreme obli- 
 gation, push it out into the church. In pastoral 
 visitation, in sermonic work, by missionary meeting 
 and missionary class push in the fuel which feeds the 
 fire, and as His promise guarantees his presence 
 ''with us always" when this work is in hand, the 
 missionary pastor shall be able to accomplish the end 
 of his ministry and present to his Lord a missionary 
 church.

CHAPTER Y. 
 
 MISSIONARY MAPS AND CHARTS, 
 
 This is one of the most effective means of awaken- 
 ing an interest m foreign missions. Impressions may 
 often be made through the eye-gate, when the ear- 
 gate is practically closed. The impressions thus 
 made are generally more definite and accurate than 
 those from a missionary address without them. Les- 
 sons learned from the map or chart are also remem- 
 bered much longer than those learned in any other 
 way. The impression is more lasting. 
 
 The missionary pastor recognizes this and works ac- 
 cordingly. He enlists some of his young people in 
 making the maps and charts and thus kills two mis- 
 sionary birds with one stone, lie gets his young 
 people interested and secures missionary ammunition 
 for himself. The following suggestions with regard 
 to the making may be helpful. 
 
 MAP AND CHART-MAKING WITH PAINTS. 
 
 1. A Stretcher, consisting of four strips of wood 2^ 
 inches wide and 10 feet long. Beginning at the ends 
 bore five small holes 6 inches apart m each strip ; by 
 the use of hard-wood pegs you can make a stretcher, 
 
 [109] 
 
110 THE MISSIONARY PASTOR. 
 
 or frame, that can quickly be changed to almost any 
 size from 6 to 10 feet square. 2. White muslin^ the 
 more starch in it the better, double width, or if you 
 cannot get it, single widths neatly sewn. 3. Ciq^s, 
 in which to mix paints; any old cups will do. 4. 
 Paints — white lead, lampblack, and as many of the 
 following dry colors as you wish: Vermillion, chrome 
 green, chrome yellow, ultra-marine blue, and Vandyke 
 brown. 5. Varnish^ japan, and turpentine, for mixing 
 colors; do not use oil. 6. Brushes; one small brush 
 for black lines and lettering, and one or two others. 
 After selecting the map you are to copy, draw per- 
 pendicular and horizontal lines across it, ^ inch apart; 
 decide on the scale of 3'our large map (if 3'ou use the 
 maps in the "Encyclopedia of Missions" as patterns, 
 let 1 inch = 1 foot and you will have maps 8x10 
 feet), adjust the stretcher, tack the muslin to it, and 
 with a very soft pencil draw lines across the muslin 
 corresponding to those on the small map, but on 
 the enlarged scale. A string or strip of wood will 
 serve as a straight edge. Now by copying a square 
 at a time you will quickly finish the outline of the 
 map. Then comes the coloring. 
 
 HOW TO 3IIX THE PAINTS. 
 
 This is very important. Instead of oil, use a com- 
 bination of 1 part light varnish, 1 part turpentine, 
 and 2 parts japan; stir the colors in as much of the 
 mixture as is necessary to moisten them, when ground 
 to a smooth paste add mixture slowly, stirring all the 
 time, until quite thin. Use white lead to lighten the 
 
MISSIONARY MAPS AND CHARTS. Ill 
 
 shades. Moisten the muslin with a brush or sponge 
 and while still moist do the painting. As soon as the 
 cloth is dry the paint will be dry. 
 
 The great difficulty in making maps has been to 
 avoid the spreading of colors. If these directions are 
 followed, the colors will not run at all, and the maps 
 will be light, durable, and easily handled. Mark all 
 mission stations plainly. Add only the more promi- 
 nent physical features. The letters may be put in 
 with lamp-black mixed in the same way as the colors. 
 
 No additional directions are needed for charts. De- 
 cide on scale and enlarge. 
 
 MAP AND CHART-MAKING WITHOUT PAINTS. 
 
 There will be needed : 1. Floor space, on which to 
 tack the muslin while making. 2. Muslin, of suit- 
 able size. 3. Crayon, of the ordinary, colored, black- 
 board variety. 4. Faraffine, of a fairly low fusing 
 point. If unable to buy it of the right consistency, 
 the fusing point is easily lowered by mixing vaseline. 
 
 Proceed to divide the map to be copied and the 
 cloth, and fill in with soft pencil as in previous 
 method. Melt the paraffine and dip the crayons into 
 it, allowing the pores to soak full. A little experi- 
 ence will enable one to tell when the operation is 
 complete. The cessation of bubbles marks the clos- 
 ing of the pores. The crayons may now be i^sed,as 
 in ordinary map drawing and the colors wiirnol bl^ur. 
 It takes some little pressure on the craybn' ^ coIot 
 the cloth. L I • I .V uM. LI \ :

112 THE MISSIONARY PASTOR. 
 
 The following charts will furnish invaluable mis- 
 sionary material to the pastor. They have not 
 appeared in print before. They are suitable for en- 
 largement for sermonic purposes. Taken as a series 
 they are a succession of sledge hammer blows on the 
 theme so dear to the heart of every missionary pastor 
 — the watch-cry of the Student Volunteer Movement : 
 The Evangelization of the World in this Gen- 
 eration.

 A PRAYER AND A PROMISE. 
 
 We will strive with God's help to make the prayer that fol- 
 lows the purpose of our lives:— 
 
 Lord Jesus, thou hast promised that if thou shouldest he 
 lifted up from the earth thou tcouldst draw all men unto thee; 
 thou hast commanded all those tcho love thee, of whom I am 
 one, to proclaim thy glad tidings of deliverance to every 
 creature; they to whom thou didst first give thy command 
 obeyed it in their day and generation, hut in the new worlds 
 that have heen opened since their day, thy people have halted 
 and questioned, and thy command has remained unfulfilled 
 through the centuries, till at last it has come to me. And 
 now, Lord Jesus, as thou didst lay down thy life for- me, 
 help me to lay down my life for these thy brethren, that thro' 
 me thou may est again he lifted up. Lf thou wilt open the 
 way, L loill go for thee. If I may not go, I icill make it the 
 purpose of my life to help send others. All that I have icill 
 I give for thee, and for these that they may know thee ;k wV/- 
 self, my money, and if thou dost choose for thy icork my 
 friends or loved ones, then as thou gavest therA tSim^,\S*>\<io
