To Enter Silver City
EL PASO. Tex—Because of
unforeseen financial difficulties,

the Anglo brethern at nearby

slack as possible but they will
need help.

you worship, could assist in the
matter, please contact the Riv-
era Street church of Christ at
P.O. Box 3487 in El Paso. Texas.
All contributors will be kept

The ad will be seven inches

possible by a contribution of
$46 from the West Side church

from the churches in Milan,
Genoa. Palermo. Frascati, and
Italian congregations.
The insertion has some pas
sages of the New Testament,
the invitation to the six lesson

six addresses to contact for the
course, and also we promised
the opportunity to continue the
study with other courses by
correspondence.

Preatter for mithlgoii uiorii
DETROIT, Mich. -Since the
close of World War II more
“missionary work” has
done than at any time stfice
the first century. Every year
sees the beginning of the
preaching of the gospel in new
countries.
More and more capable and
qualified preachers are going
into foreign fields to preach
Christ although there is often
the problem of raising a travel
fund, the problem of learning
a foreign language, and some-
times a difficulty in obtaining
a visa.
The Hayes Avenue church is
deeply interested in this over-
seas work. In fact they help to
eupport an Italian evangelist
and furnish the support for a
full-time preacher working in
Africa in addition to a num-
ber of projects which they help
to support in this country.
There are many sections of
our country, also, which have
been neglected and which des-
perately need the gospel. The
northern part of Michigan Is

There will be no

church will furnish adequate
and complete support for a
full-time evangelist.
The church knows that thia
is a difficult but challenging
work, and so far that reason
we feel that the man who
chosen for this work must be
well prepared in terms of abil
ity and experience and that he
must be industrious, enthnsi
antic and have an intense lore
for lost souls.
Also he will be expected to
work under the direction of
eldership

mam of wealth to needed in
order that this greater wealth
may have a chance in Koren.
Korea cannot be saved with
costly buildings and costly in
stltutions. Someone will have
to get the vision that there is
such a thing as wealth of no
wealth. Korea is the finest place|

be demonstrated. A minimum

world in our day.
can- be demonstrated in many
ways. The Old Testament and
the New Testament form a rec-
ord of iften who were used to
the glory of God without wealth
and without material. Abraham
was a man of many possessions,
but he had learned that there
was a greater wealth than the
wealth of mere things. So the
story of his life is the story of
one who lived in such a way
as the world has never thought
much about his possessions. But
the world can never forget his
faith and the great ideals that
controlled his life. The real
wealth of Abraham was in the
field of the intangible.
Moses has a place in the
world that makes him one of
the world’s great leaders, and
he illustrates again the truth
of the expression—the wealth
of no wealth. And certainly in
the New Testament Saul of
Tarsus, who made three mis-
sionary journeys out of Anti-
och In his day. is a man who
illustrates clearly the great
wealth of ideas and hopes and
dreams. He had been entrusted
with the gospel and it is this
wealth with which he managed
to turn back to the tide of pa-
ganism in his day and set the
church on the onward march
To live in Korea is to get a
new insight to the value of
wealth that can be measured
in terms of material. The great
work of the church in this na-
tion will be in the field of that
which cannot be weighed and
measured. One is reminded
here of the way of Jesus. Je-
sus lived in Palestine which is
now a part of this eastern
world and which was then a
part of the most active influ
ences in human history Jesus
went from village to village
teaching No property, no ma-
terial. It was indeed the wealth
of no wealth. One is made to
wonder if this is not the solu-
tion of the spread of the church
in this area.
Our greatest need here is
the need of teachers. A mini-
