THE K I N G ' S B US I NE S S portion of THE NEED FOR MISSION­ ARIES. A MISSIONARY AVIATOR A Boston insurance man whose son, an aviator, was killed some months ago, has devoted his son’s insurance money to supporting missionaries in various foreign fields. Dr. Keller’s work in China, under the Bible Institute of Los Angeles, receives some help from this fund. What a splendid monument to put up for a son, or any other loved one. This missionary aviator is the means, even though he has had to give his life, of sending thus far, twelve or fifteen substitutes to preach the gospel he had intended to preach. It was un­ doubtedly of the Lord that he took the limit of Government insurance. This fund will form the nucleus of a fund that will be permanent, to carry on the work started, others having already con­ tributed to it in memory of the young aviator. iaif ^ GO TO IT, DOOLEY We quote from an article published in the “ Maroon,” the Chicago Univer­ sity organ. Thank God for a young man with a backbone. No doubt he has suf­ fered some because of his stand. Pray for him and others who are like him. “ Editor of The Daily Maroon: The large bulk of Christianity.finds its hope and inspiration in its belief in the Divinity o f Christ. A small' minor­ ity of persons, of temperament that pro­ duces atheists, deny Christ’s Divinity and prefer to think of Him simply as a human teacher, some of them even de­ nying that he may have been Divinely inspired. We cannot demonstrate Christ’s Di­ vinity to this type of person any more than the mystic can demonstrate his vision and insight to the materialist. Professor Merrifield and his kind can build up a perfect logical system of ne­ gations to satisfy their own agnosticism

He must be willing to learn how to do many things from those who are far less edu­ cated than himself perhaps, and to be subject to those who may in many other ways be his inferior. I could best sum it up by saying that he must be ready to submerge himself totally in quiet trustfulness that the Christ who said, “He that humbleth himself shall be ex­ alted” will most certainly some day prove it in the case of His missionary. The missionary must also be willing to become a unit in a company of mission­ aries; to sink his own personality wher­ ever it is necessary in order that he may fit into the plans and procedures of the organization into which he casts his fel­ lowship, with whom he labors. He must also remember that we are all members of the body of Christ, and that each has a functional relation to the other which necessitates patient forbearance with co- laborers. He will find many times that others forget this, and he himself will be a marvelous man of whom this will not also be true; but he must be pre­ pared, whatever others may do in for­ getting, to set himself in the strength of his Lord to the task of maintaining a right attitude, lest he sink to the level of the one'who has thus forgotten. It is our conviction, that if this had been done among Christian workers through­ out the past ages, the Church would be complete, would have been joined to her Lord, and the kingdom of heaven would be established under the hand of the reigning Christ! Will you pray that THE MISSION­ ARY FOR THE NEED may be found to, meet THE NEED FOR THE MIS­ SIONARY? If you are one of those to whom God is saying, “ Go ye,” then, my brother, niy sister, be His MIS­ SIONARY FOR THE NEED, and go to this great and dark field to meet your
