NAMES GREATEST TASKS OF CHURCH Evangelist Walker Preaches at First'Christian IS MISSIONARY WORK Most Important Task Is Missionary Work at Home and Next Comes Carrying the Gospel to the Heathen Lands At the First Christian church yesterday morning Evangelist W. Graham Walker preached on Church Tasks," in which he emphasized the r.eed of brotherhood and co-operation in overcoming evil and in the furtherance of the kingdom of God.

The Rev. Dr. Walker defined the various tasks that confront the church today, such as evangelizing the heathens of benighted countries and Christianizing the supposedly Christian people in this Christian country. In part, Dr. Walker said: missionary movement is on the Increase throughout this country and more beneficial results are being attained by that great body of servants of the Lord than at any other period In the world's history.

To day in our Bible schools more young men and women are willing to accept the mis-, sionary call tlian we can use. missionaries represent one of the greatest of the tasks. They go torth into the wilderness and into the wilds suffering privations and often death at the hands of savages to whom they are preaching the gospel of the that the of the aborigine maj' be saved. The missionaiy is supported in his endeavors by the church apd is entirely dependent upon it for his livelihood. And today more than at any other time the church is meeting the expenses of foreign missions and is placing more and more missionaries in the field owing to the liberal support of churchgoers and the ample gifts of captains of industry who are willing that some part of their immense wealth should go to enlighten the savages of uncivilized countries.

Save People at Home missionary movement represents only one of the tasks of the church of today, although it is a very important one. In my opinion the church has a greater task in saving its professedly Christian people at home rather than the pagan of the heathen world. The church today must awake to the greatest task that confronts it and that is to get the people together again under the spell of the Lord, Jesus Christ. "Here In this professedly Christian country the need at present is greatest for a get-together movement for a better church attendance and general moral uplift. People are getting to look with too much complaisance upon evils which exist today undeg your very eyes and the influence of Christ is needed and needed at once to stem the tide of evil which is everywhere throughout the country.

To preach righteousness at home and overcome the evil Influences of the present day represents the greatest task of the church and in this city with its many churches the task appears stupendous. Rut I am optimistic and conditions ill be bettered; for the church is greater than its task and with the aid of Jesus Christ the solution of any problem Is possible. Christianizing Politics other tasks that confront the church Is Christianizing modern business and business men. The great monopolies that represent avaricious greed and false gain wil eventually fall under the influence of Christ and a long step will have been taken toward the kingdom of God. politics of this land must he Christianized and that also represents a stupendous task for tlie church of today.

It may be said that when the church will have Christianized big business our politics will also have fallen under the power of the Ixird, for politics intertwine in and out of business and a move of the one affects the other. There are other tasks but these are the main ones and I can truly say that the church is meeting these enormous tasks with courage and a persistence that will win a glorious victory for the cause of righteousness and the furtherance of the kingdom of God."

"The season that we have been through has been very good indeed," said Mr. Kay.

From what I can gather every business house is well pleased with the showing made by its traveling salesmen over the state. They have been getting orders of largo volume and accounts have been good in almost every instance.
