THE QUIET HOUR
’ Two Profitable Investments.
The warrant for aggressive effort
in planting ne.w churches in insuffi
ciently churched sections of our
own land is to be found—
In the Great Commission—"Go ye i
into all the world” means all the j
world:
In the Obligation and Opportunity
for Soul Winning—the golden grain is
waiting for the reaper in many a
neglected spot at home as well as
abroad:
In the Instinct of Self Defence
unless the incoming multitude of im
migration arc ah. orbed, assimilated,
gai : d or held, for Christ, they will
v\ :;tu.; ly overwhelm the church with
an inundation of secularism.

the particular phase of subj
to which this editorial i. d ot d.
The common sense business policy
warrant for aggressive effort in plant
ing now churches in insufficiently
churched sections of the United Stab)
may be summed up in these words
The most profitable investment in 1
which a ednomination can make, from
the point of view of financial, numer
ical or influence returns, is a wisely
located and generously nurtured home
mission church.
One or two concrete instances of
this will have more force than a ton
or two of theories. In order to pre
vent these authoritatively, we have
written to two friends in two of our
most prominent Ohio churches, which
1 were at once recipients of missionary
aid, and give the facts as they have
given them to us.
One of these two remrakable ex
amples of the extreme profitableness
of home missionary investment is
Trinity Church of Canton, Ohio.
At a critical period in the days of
its early struggles, it was given mis
sion funds to the extent, in all, of
only fourteen hundred dollars.
This $1400 represented the de
nomination's investment in this local
church; that is it was a home mis
sion investment.
Consider with reference to the fin
ancial returns alone, this investment
was tlie shrewdest-kind of a business
deal.
Since that, missionary help was Riv
en to it, it has paid back into the
denominational missionray and other
benevolent treasuries more than twen
ty-one times that amount, or over
$30,000 in all. It is now giving near
ly twice fourteen hundred dollars ev
ery year for these purposes, exclu
sive of what is given for local congre
gational expenses, which last year,
was $12,600. And this is only one
item in the count. That $1400 given
it at a time, when, without that out
side help, it would in all probability
have become extinct, tided it over
the difficult years, and made possible
the building up of a church which
today has a congregation of about
1400 members; a Sunday School of
some 1500; a Missionary Society of
more than 80; and Enedavor Society
of nearly 150. It is one of the strong
est centers of influence under Dr.
Herbruck’s aggregressive leadership,
in the denomination.
Grace Church, of Akron, Ohio.
This congregation received missio
aid during the first fifteen years, an
average of less than $350 a year, or
not $5,000 in all. It is an interesting
coincidence that it became self-sup
porting about thirty-five years ago.
Putting it in the form of financial
proposition, the church at large in
vested $5,000 in Grace Church, Akron,
thirty-five years ago. If that money
had been invested at six per cent, it
would have yielded $300 a year or
$10,500 simple interest. Notice how
much better it did.
Remember a well located mission
church is the most profitable invest
ment a denomination can make.
His Mother’s Look.
"It was an impossible order,” .Miss
Gilder explained, as she uncovered
the portrait she had finished and
waited for her fellow artist's opinion.
"He sent me this little photograph
of his mother, taken twenty years ago
when she was forty, and wanted me
to try to paint her as she lookt d
when she died at sixty. No, indeed,
I never saw her. The photograph
and this lock of her hair, to show
how gray it had grown, anil a scrap
of one of her last dresses, are all
I’ve had to work from except his
letters. Every few days since I be
gan he has b en writing me, trying
to put words together in a way to
make me ^ e t a i j.or of her c":
’ . ,1, l ;■ ;p eialU l. r
hit,. an ! . nil! i if. Li has i bar;:
• d l: o.er and o• r ;• 'v m eber
that her look never ban. d to tin
day of her death.' "
“How does lie dis libo lier look? '
the older artjt asked, presently, with
out talcing his eyes from the canvas.
“Always in a different way—an if
he could never be satis fk d. It was
a ‘gentle look’ an ‘understanding
look,’ a ‘sympathetic look,’ a ‘lock
of usefulness,” a look of love.’ ”
There was another long pause.
Then the critic nodded encouragingly.
“You’ve done a great piece of work
in aging the face without losing the
likeness,” he said. “I congratulate
you. As for the ‘look’ ”—his smile
was gentle—“I think you've put in
all he describes, hut ol' course no one
can tell how 'twill strike ’him. He’s
coming tomorrow you say? Good
luck to you.”
On the following day a serious lool -
ing young man of thirty stood silent
before the picture. He was dressed
in the ready-made clothes of a
country store and his hands bore the
signs of heavy work, but his errand
had vested him witli a dignity that
hid sugh trifles. When lie turned
away at last, without a word, and
walked over to the window, Miss
Gilder could have wept from pure
sympathy.
After a silence she said, softly,
“You are disappointed—” and waited
again.
“I have no right to be," he answer
ed. “You’ve done the best you could
—the best any one could, very likely.
With an effort he faced the picture
once more and steadied his voice to
a business-like tone: “The eyes and
hair and skin are perfect, it's won
derful how you could have done all
that without seeing her. It's worth
a great deal to me just as it is, but
her look—’’ he shook his head. “Of
course it wasn't in that photograph
I sent you; that's why I’ve been try
ing so hard to explain it to you in my
letters. But you see, I couldn’t.”
“Wasn't it, perhaps,’ Miss Gilder
ventured, “mightn’t it be the look
she had just for you.”
He considered. “I understand what
you mean, but no, it wasn’t that,”
he decided. ‘It was just a beautiful
look she always had. No wonder
you can’t paint it, I never say any
thing like it on any other human face
Why, ma’am,” he went on, his eyes
lighting, “if you could just paint my
mother’s look so that it would make
people feel when they saw it the
way I feel, even remembering it—’’
his voice failed. “You—you'd be
famous,’ he finished brokenly.
Tomorrow’s Sorrow.
“There’s a stream of trouble across
my path.
It is black and deep and wide.
Bitter the hour the future hath
When I cross its swelling tide.
But I smile and sing and say:
’I will hope and trust alway;
I'll bear the sorrow that comes to
morrow,
But I'll borrow none today.’
“Tomorrow's bridge is a crazy thing;
1 dare not cross it now.
I can see its timber sway and swing,
And its arches reel and bow.
O heart, you must hope alway;
You must sing and trust and say:
‘I'll bear the sorrow that comes to
morrow,
But I'll borrow none today.’ ”
