ANNUAL ROLL CALL 
Rev. C. W. CHAMBERLIN OF BEv- 
ERLY, SPEAKER AT WELL ATTENDED 
MEETING IN Baptist VESTRY. 
There was a good attendance at the 
annual roll call of the Manchester 
Baptist church in the vestry on Wed- 
nesday evening. The customary 
supper was omitted this year. Rev. 
A. G. Warner presided and introduced 
as the speaker of the evening Rev. 
Carey W. Chamberlin of Beverly. 
The speaker brought a word of cheer 
and encouragerent from the Board 
of Foreign Missions, the treasury 
now showing receipts of $124.000 in 
oe of last year. | Missionaries in 
China were referred to as doing espe- 
cially fine work in preparing young 
men who will be the leaders of the 
new China. To give an idea of the 
extent of country over which the mis- 
sionaries are working in China and 
the widely separated stations he told 
NORTH SHORE BREEZE? 
of a station on the east coast being 
distant 2000 miles from West China 
which means a journey of three 
months, or equaling a distance from 
Manchester to Salt Lake City. “A 
map of China would almost cover 
that of the United States if laid down 
upon it,” said the speaker. “One of 
the missionaries has three million 
people in his. parish. If Brother 
Warner had that many in his he 
vould be some busy. 
“T am going to speak tonight on 
the church of the future. We have 
always noticed in animal life that all 
kinds of animals will aways fight to 
protect their young; you know that 
parents are ever ready to make all 
kinds of sacrifices for their children, 
even to die for them, and it is time 
we were ready to make sone real sac- 
rifice for the church. The church 
that lives for itself alone will shrivel 
and die, as it ought to; but the church 
that works for others is the church,—

that will live. The church at home 
we regret to note is not making any- 
where near the rate of increase it 1s 
in foreign countries. To increase 
our work we need organization work 
which I divide into three classes: 
home evangelism, church evangelism 
and special evangelism. 
gelism begins with the spiritual de- 
velopment of the child in the home. 
It should not mean any sudden un- 
heavel in the child’s understanding of 
Christian life, but a gradual and na 
tural unfolding just as a rose unfolds 
its petals. We regret to note that the 
family worship as practiced by our 
forefathers has almost passed away. 
How, many family altars are there 
now? How often are thanks offered 
at fp family meal? In too many 
homes the fires on the family altors 
are dead and cold. 
“Church evangelism is divided into 
two classes, the Sunday School and 
Y. P. S. C. E.” Sik onpapitten mathe 
Sunday School are saved to the 
church, but the other four are lost 
somewhere and the responsibility is 
ours. The Christian Endeavor is a 
wonderful agency among young peo- 
ple, but the trouble is we keep on 
sowing seed year after year and 
never think of the reaping. Most 
people have no troub'e about talking 
cn almost every subject under He 
sun except religion, but when it comes 
to that, they are tongue-tied. Ask 
God to loosen your tongues ; personal 
effort is what 1s needed, and special 
evangelism will fill this need. 
“We are living in a wonderfully in- 
we thought before 
war broke out that the world was 
pretty nearly ready for the second 
coming of Christ. but we have since 
learned how much of the bitterness 
and envy still exists in the world and 
that to become a Christian means 
something more than buying a ticket 
on a Pullman express to Heaven. 
There never was better opportunity 
to spread the work of Christianity 
through the land than now; let us 
have team work in the name of Jesus 
Christ so that the church shall stand 
to His glory, now and forever.” 
Following Rev. Mr. Chamberlin, 
Miss Jean amon of the Billy Sun- 
day party, who came a day ahead 
teresting tine; 
fron a misunderstanding, spoke 
briefly on the work of the Bible 
classes. 
The roll was called by the clerk, J. 
Davis Baker to which there were many 
responses, some half a dozen by let- 
ter. Encouraging reports were re- 
ceived fro’ un the church aid society, 
Woman’s Home and Foreign Mission 
circle, Sunday School, Christian En- 
deavor, and Friendship circle.
