God. And while we are doing it, and as a means to this end, we must
try to get this Indian ring by the throat and strangle its life. It
has lived long enough on the blood of the Indian; let it die, and we
will never say "the Lord have mercy on its soul," for it has none. If
you have never been interested in the matter before, begin to-day; if
you have never helped before, help now. Get in somewhere, get in
quick, get in all over; do not stand around the edges looking on and
criticising others; be sure you get your pocket book open, and send
the Treasurer of the Association double what you did last year; do
something, do anything. We have been playing at missions long enough.
With our great wealth it is a disgrace that this work was not
completed long ago. With an aroused and awakened Church the whole
problem will be solved, for there will be no more Indians, but only
brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus.

Let us fear nothing, God is with us and we shall triumph.
"Truth forever on the scaffold, wrong forever on the throne,
Yet that scaffold sways the future, and behind the dim unknown
Standeth God within the shadow, keeping watch above his own."

REPORT ON CHINESE WORK.

BY REV. SIMEON GILBERT, D.D., CHAIRMAN.

1. Is it worth while to attempt Christian missions among the Chinese
in our own country?

2. If so, of how much importance is it?
