*Decrease.
Four reasons why foreign missions should be established and maintained:—
1. Because of the great need of over one billion people in utter moral darkness, whom we have as yet made no adequate effort to reach with this gospel message.
2. Because there are now only six per cent of both churches and Sabbath-keepers, and ten per cent of laborers, in fields whose population represents eighty-five per cent of the world's dying millions.
3. Because the gain in believers is as ten to one, compared with the gain in older fields, for the expenditure put forth.
4. Because of the Saviour's final commission, "Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature," and, "Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world."
