The Church Overseas - 1924 March
 |
"I am anxious
to create a greater and wider interest in the work of the Church Overseas.
At present, interest in Foreign Missions is confined to a mere handful
of parishioners. All who call themselves Christians are bound by Christ’s
command to His would-be disciples to go and preach the Gospel to every
creature. |
| If they are hindering the carrying out of this
command by lack of sympathy, prayers or financial help, they are
guilty of neglect of a solemn duty. During the year we try to give
as much help as possible to three Societies, viz.: The S.P.G., the
C.M.S. and the C. and C.C.S., and the Parochial Secretaries are
respectively: Mrs. Cameron, Mrs. Basey and Mrs. Joseph, from whom
magazines and collecting boxes may be obtained. In order to arouse
interest I am arranging two Missionary Lantern Lectures during Lent,
one on Friday, March 14th, and the other on Friday, April 11th,
to be held in the Church Room, at 8 p.m. In future we shall also
have a short Service of Intercession after evensong on the fourth
Sunday in the month. I hope in these ways to stir up enthusiasm
amongst a large number of the congregation which will result in
the raising of more money for the work of the Church Overseas." |
