AUGSBURG EKKO‘ occasions, Mr. Mott made a strong appeal to us that we keep the watehword prayerfully before us without the least modification of its meaning. If we should take away the last two words of the motto it would have lost its correct inter- pletation. We must on the (other hand not modify it, as had been suggested by one party. to include only oneseight of the non-christian people. .r\ppareutly the realization of the watchword is impossible. Yet we must keep in mind that the Student Volunteer Movement does not hold to it as a prophesy. but as \\'e must protect it and do all in our power that it may be realized. \\'e are not in doubt as to what it means to the heathens whether the watchword be realized or not. it is of vital importance. it means life or death to the pres- ent generation of heathens. It means inspired and devoted lives to our nation—if we hold to it. The task is tremendous. “The man who says it is not difficult has not pondered on the gravitation of the task. The difficulty is enough to stagger us: therefore. in view of our own lack of ability. the watch- \\'m'd throws us back upon super- The “ateliwm‘d brings men in tremend- .\lr. Mott re- lated that in his work he too often found students and professors who acted as if they had several gener— an ideal. human strength—upon God. ous earnestness." ations/ in which to acedznplish work. This geiieration is allotted to us. It was repeatedly; phasized that the non-chrisfiuy A“ harvest. What we intend'to do we, must donow. Mr. Mott expressed his opinion to the effect that on? . of the chief reasons for the Sloth~.. ‘ ; fulness of many of the students is 7 that there is too little of self—denial. and too much of luxury. He knew of one student who reduced his an- nual expenses from $2.030 to $400 —almost incredible for being an Oxford student. Another lived on - one‘meal a day in his zeal for mis— sions and for the purpose of being‘ able to help his fellow students to the same fervor. Great stress was laid on the re— sponsibility resting on teachers and / professors. being that they are in position to influence students more than any other class of workers as _7 their counsel is regarded as impar- tial and unselfish. Bearing in mind the great results that have > been obtained by individual pro— fessors here and there in setting apart certain hours each week for‘ systematic mission-study and fpr the purpose of speaking to the stu- dents about life—decisions and plans. a special course in the study of missions cannot be too highly re- commended and encouraged.
