deparvcad from ber first love. The heath-

en hordes came in upon herin such my-|é

riad petnbers that she was almost absorb- | ed by their carnal passions and enveloped

turtr primeval darkness. Even the churctlot Britain, oace the brightest gem iD (hestrown of Bpostoiic triumph departed trois Ber primitive glory, and on through | the mediaeval days and the storms of the | Retormation time forgot the days of Pat- rick ad Columba,Aiden and Boniface, «]- SO litt Paul of Tarsus, and Francis of Assisor had been the greatest missionaries the wyrld had ever seen. Butthe Churchman stunusioday with hope beaming upon his brow che sees that the indwelling Christ is makidy all things new, that this old churen, olderthau the Papacy and with whose centuried age Protestauism is but the child of a day, founded in Britain in the apostolic days and still preserving her identiiy through the changing years, is comiug back steadily to her own apostolic life wud doing her own apostolic work. We were told in this city a few days ago by our knightly representative in Domin- jon parliament that this year for the first time io history the nations of the world dave come to realize that Great Britain is | an empire yaster than thatover which Roman Eagles ever flew, the greatest em- pire tue world has ever seen, but the Em- pire of Jesus through his Church is vaster and mightier still, for all the nations flow into it and He shall be their King. As but « tew weeks ago we saw the teeming millions join with glad acclaim in Victoria’s Diamoaa Jubilee and heard their multi- tudi wus voices like the roar of the sea break heavenward, it seemed the vastest volumn of united praise that human ears have ever heard, but that is a wild iaco-- Lereut note,compared to the Church’s jub- ilee when

“Jesus shall reign where’er the sun

Doth his successive journey run”

Coming more immediately to the enb ject vefore us let mesay that the New Testament isthe one great text book of Apvriolic Missions. lt may surprise some ofour more mature divines iv be told that wissionus is the one great theme of the Holy Scripture, the greater part of the New Testament being simply the letters of tue foreign; missionaries to the foreign missionary Churches of their time. Like all the great truths of God no attempt is wade to prove it but everywhere it is tak- ea for granted that ali who believe in Uurist believe also in missions.

1. I cannot do betier than remark at the outset as my first point and to remark it with some degree of emphasis, that the Apo-ties believed in missions, It were a mere truism to make this statement did nut we have to face the sad fact that there are wavy calling themselves members of au apostolic Church who do not believe in misswns. These must ignore the fact that In the early church, every man from the

Yuasicr tw the bhumbjest disciple believed and |.ved the missionary life, so much so that wherever persecuticn scattered them men caught upa divine covtagioa and churches sprang up and flourished. They could not well think and do otherwise and be disciples of Him who came preaching the Kingdom of God, and saying to all who joined themselves to Him “Go thou and preach the Kingdon of God,”

2 The aro: tolic idea of missions was Catholic and not preaching the Gospel over and over again to the same people. St. Paul said“ woe is me if I preach not the Gospel, but where Christ is named lest i

build on another man’s foundation.” The men who founded the church were bound- ed by no such petty humilatious as “Home and Foreign.”” The Lord told them “‘the field is the world” and they entertain- ed no idea of missions that did uot include every nation. In fact a short study of Apostolic words would change many a modern upwortby missionary idea! which is hampering the spread of the Gospel. Our Lord never talked to his disciples about his being the Saviour of Europe and Africaor ofany one country. The one idea before his mind was the world. Of him

3. Apostolic Missions were not only Catholic but they were absolutely unsec- tarian. St Pauj assumed this attitude when he claimed to be al’ things toallmen, even emLracing tendencies so divergent as those represented by the Turk and the Jew. He believed there was a common ground upon which he mightapproach the heart of every nation. TheJews already believed in God and looked fora Messiah, Tothem he came with the message that Jesus is the bope of the future, andin hin all the present consists.

**He is the one far off divine event To whieh the whole creation bows.”

And moreover they did not go forth believing the heathen hac no truth, asking them to exchange an old religion for a new. The religion of Christ was to trem the summing up Of all that was ever found in man avd linking it with God without whose divine power no true life could be lived, forming one new man and so making peace. They believed their fellowmen were feeling after and in same degree even seeking afterthe same God as Christ came to reveal, if happily they might fiod him though he was not very far from any one of them. “Everyone that feareth God and doeth righteousnesa isaccepted of Him.” Thus far they had a common ground.

What the heathen did not know was the fact of the incarnation, resurrection and ascension of Jesus Christ. So from man’s heart they approached his head aud pressed home the truth with a divine logic that no reason could resict. They said ““we came to you as the accredited am bass- ador of the living God, proclaiming only what we have seen with our eyes and what our hands have handled of the bread of lite. You want to know God but you can’t know Him except through Jesus the Son of Man, for no man knoweth the Father but the Son and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him? You want eternal lite but it can be had only through Christ the Son of God who saic ‘I am the way, the truth and tLe life,no man cometh to the Father but by me?’ ‘This -story of the 1. - carnate God is absolutely true, and we have full power and authority to admit you to all the precious privileges which it implies, for whatso ver we bind on Earth shal! be bound in Heaven.”

The apostolic aim was no visionary attempt to convert the world but simply to evangelize it. They did not try to bring

the worldto Christ, but Christ to the world. Through them as instru- ments he was to convey his life to

all nations. They altogether mistake the meaning of missions who think it merely a matter of making so many converts. The blessings of the Goepel of Christ are something infinitely greater than can be calculated by methods of arithmetic. Like the sun in the heavens map cannot tel] where the influence begins or where it ends. “The wind bloweth where it listeth and thou hearest the sound thereof, but thou canst not tell whither it cometh or whither it goeth, so is everyone whe is born of the spirit.” The work of the mis- sionary isto proclaim the tidings that mean God to all men and witness to the story by a light that lighteth up tae dark places.

4. Allow me to say just a word as tothe

| kind of men the early church sent into

the mission field.

(a) Mentally they ‘were ‘the very best men the Church ‘c’nld ‘procure. Those chosen were ‘not men who in any Sense had been failures at home, nor were they men whorn the home church could best spare, but were such men as Barnabas and Paul, Peter and John, the giants of the Apostolic Coilege. And I believe theday is coming when our grand old Church will return to ber primitive splendor and every minister: f her altars from the humblest deacon to the Archbishop of Canterbury himself shall haye it known to all the world that he is willing to go to any part of the field to which God, through the Church, may decide to send him.

b. Not only were they the highest ment- al, but they were also the highest spiritual forces of their time. To use the simple but forceful language of scripture thee were even “filled with the Holy Ghost.” Tarrying at Jerusalem till endowed with power from on high, they went forth sup- ported by the Holy Ghost. No man feels the authority of the message’ he brings like the

A Great Shot.

The Duke of Malakhoff was at a bat- two at Strathfieldsaye and shot nothing, much to his disgust, and when the day was over it appeared that he would be extremely put out unless he was &:.0we d or enabled to kill something. 5So in spite of all the gamekeeper could think, feel or say a pheasant was procured,

‘tied by its leg to the top of a post, and Malskhoff was put some 80 yards off with a double barreled gun. It was suppased that he would thereupon and thenoe take two shuts at the bird. Not a bit of it. He loaded both barrels, walked close up to the pheasant, put the muzzle close to hira and discharged poth barrels into him, with ‘‘He! co- quin.’’ ‘Lhe next day the Duke of Wel- lington told the keeper that Malakhoff was a greatman who had smoked to death 500 Arab men, women and chil- dren in a cave, to which the gamekeep- er replied: ‘Like enough, your grace. He’d be capable of anything.’’—*‘*‘ Let- yers of Lord Blackford.’’

The Very Earliest Coins,

No one knows exactly when or where the original coin was “struck’’ or what metal was used. Certain passages in Homer woald lead to the inference that brass was coined as early as the year 1184 B. C. Tradition affirms that the Chinese lrad bronze coins as early as the year 1120 B. C. But Herodotus, the acknowledged ‘‘Father of History,’’ is of the opinion that the Lydians ‘‘in- venited’’ coins some time during the ninth century B. C. One of the oldest coins now known isa gold daric, coined by the Persians during the reign of Darius. On one side of this coin isa bust of Darius and on the other side a figure of a kneeling archer.
