WOULD NOT CONVERT A TOMTIT.
Speaking at a recent meeting of the Cambridge' (England) Volunteer Missionary Union, Canon Tupper-Carey said they were at present simply playing at the great work of foreign missions. The Anglican Church was spending <£100,000 a year less on missions than the Nonconformists, who had to raise all the money for their ministers and churches. The Church wq.h spending less on missions than was spent on Chrstmas cards or on artificial flowers. Yet he believed great movements for evangelising the world would bo seen in the next few years. The conversion of the heathen at home in England would depend largely on the way they availed themselves of opportunities for mission service abroad. They saw people going to church Sunday by Sunday not caring twopence about the poor peoplri in' their midst. They were spending more money on stained-glass windows, reredoses, organs, and choirs than on the conversion .of the world. Was that going to convert the heathen at home? It would not convert a tomtit. Canon Tupper-Carey will take part in the coming Ueneral Mission in New Zealand. -
