that will reveal itself in larger offerings, and probably in volunteers for the missionary field. #102. Missionary Room.#--If there is an available room in the church, it would be well to set it apart as the Missionary Room. Here will be found the missionary library, periodicals, maps, charts, and curios, properly displayed and cared for. It may be a class-room, if no other room is to be had. The Missionary Secretary will have a table or desk here, and it will serve as his office. It will furnish a good place for the mission study class, and will be the center of all the missionary activities of the school. #103. Missionary Sunday.#--Missionary instruction should be given in connection with every lesson that will permit of it. Once a month, however, there should be special missionary exercises, whether the particular lesson lends itself to missionary treatment or not.

Appropriate music, recitations, facts from the field, and a short missionary address by the pastor or by a returned missionary will make an excellent program. Secure from your denominational publishing house leaflets giving facts about the field under consideration, and distribute them to the audience. Once a quarter is none too often for a missionary concert. #105. Denominational Boards.#--Every Sunday-school should contribute regularly and generously to its own denominational benevolences. Contribute to one benevolence at a time, and let this one be definitely explained, so that the giving may be intelligent. Every school ought to be familiar with the great missionary movements of the world, and especially of its own denomination. #106. Specific Objects.#--More interest can be created and more money raised for a specific than for a general object, and done more quickly. Denominational boards, recognizing this, have provided to
