REV. SIMPSON
ON MISSIONS
ELOQUENT ADDRESS AT MIS
SIONARIES' CONVENTION.
President of the Chlstinn Mission
aries' Society Spoke Powerfully
Last Night Befote Largo Audience
on Our Duties Towards Missions.
Vividly Depleted Terrible Condi
tions Existing in India Ignoble
Stnte of Woman In tho Orient nnd
Her Relative Position with Man.
Hev. Albert 11. Hlinpnon, of New
York, president of the Christian Mis
sionaries' society, gave a most elo
quent and Interesting address at last
night's session of the society's conven
tion which Is being held In Green
llldge.
His subject was "Missions In Con
nection With the Coming of the Lord,"
and he spoke generally upon tho topic,
laying stress upon the Importance of
three words, which ho said must bo
fully understood before Justice could
bo done to the true Importance of
mission work. The tlio of words were
Ihneigency, Opportunity and Responsi
bility. hi discussing the first of these, Hev.
Simpson vividly desci Ibed the terrible
conditions existing inuring the non
believers of foreign lands, notably Asln,
and the necessity of taking prompt
action In sending the Gospel to the un
fortunate souls In thoso countries. Said
he:
"If you saw a iniinu being drawn to
his death In tlio treacherous depths of
quicksand, If you saw n child sink
ing in the waves or a, woman being
dragged lo her death, or worse, by
rtilllaiis, every instinct of humanity
would siiing to the front and you
would risk your life to save that man,
woman or child. And yet, unseen and
unheard, every day men and women nre
being drawn to their deaths, literally
and figuratively speaking, women nre
being sold into slavery nnd shame, and
children are the objects of the tyran
nies and cruelty of heathenism. And
for this pei.-itlveness, for this negative
attitude, we ore held guilty by God.
KNOW NOTHING OF THF.M.
"You know something of'the wretch
edness of poverty, but you know
nothing of the conditions of tho poor
In foreign lands. The women of India
work all day at the stone crushers em
the street for pay averaging live cents,
ind then go home nnd toil at house
hold duties. Flour there Is a rare lux
ury, and millions die for want of food
even In the times when there Is no
famine.
"Slavery Is another cruelty there of
the most hideous kind. Millions am
murdered through the witch doctors
and tho condition of woman Is the sad
dest of all prevailing states of af
falts theie. She Is her husband's slave,
with no soul, no hope has her future
save as It comes through him. So high
above her Is man that at the close of
day she Is compelled to wash his dirty
feet and then drink tho water In order
to thus raise herself a step nearer his
level.
"Ulii babies there are murdered by
the million, their wretched mothers
being desirous to thus save them from
the torture and agony attendant upon
the lot of womanhood, the terrible fate
which awaits them. They may be made
mistresses In the horrible temples, set
aside as victims of lust and religions
piostltutlon In the name of tho heathen
illetles.
"For be it known that the worst of
India Is not Its evil, but Its good. Its
religion Is worse than its crime. Thu
priests are the vilest men, the most ob
sceiyt riles are connected with tho
sacred ceremonies and the devil Is
their God. These nie the conditions
which wo must meet, and by tho alel of
the Word entirely change.
DYING HY THOCSANDS.
"Hvery day a population as gieat
as your city Is dying without the
knowledge of Jcsph Christ, and the
graves of those who die within a sin
gle year would fill a cemetery fifteen
miles long and a mile wide. God sees
thoso people dyln;; and ho asks us
what we aie going to do."
Itev. Simpson th.'n ipoke on the sec
ond word, "Opportunity." "At no
time," ho said, "have there been ad
vantages presented for mission work
like those of the last few years. Every
country Is open to the missionary, and
the facilities presented by modern In
ventions and iinprovenn-nts make the
trips to tho scenes of mission work a
mere bagatelle compared to those of
former years,
"I can well remember," said the
speaker,, "that only .-.. few years ago
lu China the inenii'.st coolie esteemed
himself superior to the nililest for
eigner. Hut God punished them for
their presumption. First ho sent the
lit t lo Japs to teach them the benefits
which accrue from civilization, nnd nt
tho end of the war China threw open
her doors to civilization nnd let in tho
missionaries.
"A year ago the country rose again,
in 11 last convulsive movement) hut you
know how that endeel and that an
embassador is even now at Rerlln hum
bling himself for the national crime
ngalnst the German empire. God has
dono all this to break open tho doors,
and admit the pospel."
Uev. Simpson declared that the great
Increase In wealth In this country has
had Its erfect In nldlng mission work,
but showed that proportionately

speaking there Is not nearly enough
given to this sublime purpose, "In the
last hundred years," ho said, "the In
vested wealth of this country hns mul
tiplied thirty times, and Is now esti
mated ut sixty-five billions, Say
Unit one-third of the owners of this
wealth belotiu to Cht'lM. What per
centage then Is paid to tho devil? Sta
tistics tell that every year two thous
and millions are spent In two Items
alone, whiskey nnd tobacco. And com
pared with this imp five millions given
Into tho treniurj' of the tiisslons, by
God's people. That means, my friends,
that tho devil irets Just four hundred
times ns much from his constituency
as God from HU."
NECESSITY FOU MISSIONS.
Uev. Simpson concluded by impress
ing upon his hearers their great re
sponsibility lu lhe matter of missions.
"God commanded no one," he declared,
"to endow a church, to build 11 hos
pital or found n unlverMt.v, but he
did command men to spread tho gos
