Look on the heart by sorrow broken,

Look on the tears by sinners shed;
And be Thy Feast to us the token

That by Thy grace our souls are fed.

During the singing of this hymn, some of the Chinese coolies evince a little interest, as even do the Mandarins in a supercilious way, while more of those in the group of the Domestic Mission people approach However, still timid or discouraged they

nearer.

again withdraw.

Others also, people belonging to both the Foreign and the Domestic Mission Fields, attracted by the singing, come in from the sides of the Church and up the aisles,-Japanese, Indians, Liberians, American Negroes, Eskimos, Cubans, Mexicans, South Americans, or Immigrants. But most of these too only pass through or withdraw again whence they came, though some of them indeed linger near the Chancel Rail, opposite the Chinese, or on the Choir Steps with the group of people representing the Domestic Field. All motion stops and all listen impressively as the Word of God speaks:

WORD OF GOD

Hear, oh ye people, how the Lord bequeathed His mission to the Church, to His disciples, and to you, when He ascended into Heaven:

And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto Me in Heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost; teaching them to observe all things

whatsoever I have commanded you: And lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen. (St. Matthew xxvIII, 18-20.)

The Organ plays and the Choir sings, after a short the DRESDEN AMEN.

pause,

VOICE OF DIVINE MEDIATION

So, rising from the dust, it cries, the prayer
Of human need, to all with ears to hear;

While from the Heavens the Voice of Christ says Go!

The Appeal of the Human Spirit, looking up to Heaven, speaks quietly, reflectively, as if thinking over in ecstasy the commission which the Word of God has just read.

APPEAL OF THE HUMAN SPIRIT

And He said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. (St. Mark xvi, 15.)

VOICE OF DIVINE MEDIATION

This do in remembrance of Me. (St. Luke XXII, 19.)

The Organ repeats very softly, without the Choir, the DRESDEN AMEN. There is silence. Then the Appeal of the Human Spirit, turning directly to the Congregation, addresses them in the Missionary Memorial:

APPEAL OF THE HUMAN SPIRIT

So has the message of the Christ been borne;

So through the world since then His Church has

spread;

And now we celebrate what by His grace

Our Church within the century has done.

One hundred years ago the Spirit stirred

The hearts of our branch of the Christian Church,
New risen from her weakness and depletion,
To heed the great commission of the Lord.
In Philadelphia, in St. James's Church,
Under the guidance of the wise, serene,
And venerated Bishop, William WHITE,
In truth the earthly father of our Church,
By General Convention, met in May
Of 1820, was the first step taken;
And in November, 1821,

By special General Convention, called

To meet again in Philadelphia,

There in St. Peter's Church, with prayer and praise,
Was organized the Church's missionary work,
Under the form and name, at first, of

THE PROTESTANT EPISCOPAL MISSIONARY SOCIETY
IN THE UNITED STATES FOR FOREIGN AND
DOMESTIC MISSIONS

A noble train of men have done their part
In managing this work these hundred years
In all its changing forms, as ever grew

The understanding and the vision of its scope,

From BOYD and MILNOR, down through Alvi TWING, Whose great heart sent the missionary blood

Surging throughout the swiftly growing Church;

Through LANGFORD, man of prayer, and faithful
KIMBER;

ROBERTS and THOMAS, those devoted treasurers;
To Arthur Selden LLOYD, the living soul
Whose spirit breathed again reviving life
Through all the struggling missions of the Church.

For all their labor and their faithfulness
We gratefully ascribe our joyful praise
To Thee, Thou ever glorious Trinity,

With Whom all things begin, and all things end.

Here and at the other similar places following, the Congregation will express their thankfulness and praise to God by joining with the Choir in singing the GLORIA PATRI. Or it may be recited.

CONGREGATION

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost:

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

APPEAL OF THE HUMAN SPIRIT

At first the Church's missionary zeal
Conservatively held itself within

The separated fields and single powers
Of each established diocese.

So HOBART built the Church up in New York,
And served the Oneida Indians zealously;

And in Virginia MOORE rebuilt the Church
To be a source unfailing of support;

While through Ohio first, then Illinois,
Philander CHASE, an impetuous St. Peter, spread
His own indomitable frontier faith.

But gradually the mission work outgrew
The limits of diocesan control.

A truer mind united all their strength
Behind one common effort for the cause;
And then to larger scope and fuller powers
Diocesan, with other missions, grew:

As RAVENSCROFT beyond the mountains saw
The Mississippi Valley stretch, one vast
Unending missionary field; and as

The giant OTEY, like Chrysostom, went

Striding along and bearing Christ through Tennessee; As later, the incomparable WHIPPLE served

The mingling, clashing peoples, white and red,Among the pioneers a pioneer

Of God, in Minnesota.

So through all these years

The missionary spirit has inspired

In every diocese, through these and all

Who like them served, increasing great results.

For all their labor and their faithfulness

We gratefully ascribe our joyful praise
To Thee, Thou ever glorious Trinity,

With Whom all things begin, and all things end.
