with mine eye'? You have thought of His eye upon you--and that is
right--to care for, protect and lead. But have you ever watched the
glance of His eye with another thought, not for yourself, but _for Him_?
Not to see in it provision and help for you; but to see to what He is
looking, for what He is longing--what it is that will give joy to Him?
When I look in His eyes," and the speaker was looking far away from his
congregation and spoke as though half forgetting them, "I seem to hear
Him saying, 'I have other sheep--I _must bring them_!'"

His voice sank to a whisper. Hubert felt a little convulsive movement
beside him and Winifred's hand was shading her eyes. Mr. Carew recovered
from the emotion that nearly mastered him, and remembered his hearers and
their probable wishes. He began again:

"But perhaps I am neglecting to tell you that which you came especially
to hear--some details concerning the actual work of God in China. You
will pardon me, but I cannot forbear speaking wherever I go concerning
the principles underlying our work, as well as of the work itself. One
might describe the people and their ways--and all that is valuable in
making them more real to us--and might present a score of curious things
which would perhaps beguile an hour very pleasantly, but still leave an
indifferent heart unchanged as to the real motive of missions. However,
all that I have said will gain and not lose by our turning attention for
a time to the practical outworking of the theory."

Then the speaker gave illustrations of the way lost souls are found in
China. Very pathetic were some of the incidents, and again and again
Winifred's eyes were dim, and an unspeakable pain gnawed at Hubert's
heart. Fervently he thanked God for those whose darkness He had turned
to light, but sad beyond expression seemed the repeated instances which
had occurred in Mr. Carew's experience of earnest pleadings for
missionaries to be sent to various places and his absolute inability to
answer the cry. But broader than the fact of the _wish_ of some stood
the _need_ of all! Populous cities without one witness to the grace of
God! Wide regions untraversed by the feet of His messengers! Hubert had
thought New Laodicea a place of desperate need; and so it was in the
matter of vital, fruit-bearing piety. But as he thought of the inky
darkness in which China's millions dwelt this seemed a place of light.

The meeting came to an end. But f
