told by your elderly correspondent
tha0 "from the •Apostolio times to
the present day a special training
for missionary labor in the Church
of Christ has been recognized as an
essential • element for successful re-
ligious teaching."' Now I shall take
direct issue;with him; for I assume
that he lumina that Ordained minis-.

religious missionary work -that is,

imbued with the grace of God, a love
• of Jesus Christ and their fellow men.
A knowledge of theology is not ne-
cessary either to the acquirement or
teaching of the religion of our Lord
and Saviour Jesus Christ. Religion
is not neeesearily the complenieut or
accompaniment of theotogy. Seams
may be a living illustration of this. I
will concede his knowledge of theology,
but sir, judging from the spirit of his
letter to you, I would not be s0. rash
as to denlare that he has any living

ligion is.

and learned metaphysicians and the- •
ologians. The Lord's Army, as
bumble followers, are seeking to
spread a knowledge of the unknown
God in the hearts of all humble seek-
ers after truth. To those unpreju-
diced and not superstitious the spiri-
tual aetivity they have aroused dem-
onstrates that the Lord has to some
extent blessed their efforts. or is
it any disparagement to this move-
ment that women as well as men have
acknowledged Christ and the King of
Kings. The "mushroom saints in
pants and petticoats" have gone a
''warfare at their own cost." The
devil must he routed, and in site of
the mean insinuation of Senex at the
good pay they receive, these "work-
ers not otherwise worth their salt"
could, any one of them, make many
times more money at worldly callings
than they receive for their work in
the Lord's vineyard. It may be that
:Senex and his admirers may despise
the unscientific mode of warfare of
the Lord's Army, but they meet the
spiritual necessities of .the spiritual
lde of man in almost every mood, by
their heart stirring and proper se-
lection of songs and hiyitner.- The
'Mode may not be strictly. in accor-
clanee with the Am:tics of orthodox
theology, but it is very effectual in
rciuting, thet enemy -Satan. The
• fastidious theolegians remind me of
the scientlfic and old School Austrian
general who found himself routed at
all points by the unscientific Napol-
eon. The Austrian General com•
planed that Napoleon's tactics were
a conthmal•surprise to him, he found
the Parvenu French General's troops
where he kast expected them, and
was always beaten by them. No -
doubt Satan is often surprised to find
the parvenu Lord's Army and their
"self appointed" 'officers attacking
strongholds he had always consider-
-ed secure, and the father of sin flu&
