To Mission Fields in 1910

As all our readers know, there has been necessarily a slackening up during the last year in the sending of missionaries to the lands abroad. The list for 1910 bears witness to the fact that the unusual number of recruits sent out in the two former years has made it necessary to hold back, and wait for still further increase of mission funds.

Doubtless the full report of the treasurer for 1910 will show an increase of mission receipts over any former year; but each year the demands in the great mission fields of Asia and Africa and other parts increase by the expansion of the work within those fields, regardless of new workers sent out. This expansion in the fields, and the additional help sent out during the first three quarters of 1910, more than used up the increased gifts, and compelled a halt.

We hear from every side, however, that our brethren in the churches do not wish a halt called in the sending of laborers to the needy fields where the greater part of the world lies absolutely untouched as yet. Believers in the third angel’s message call for a continuous and a strong advance until the leaven of this truth is planted all through this great mass of humanity. Without a doubt this will mean a larger number sent out in 1911 than in 1910. Yet if this is to be the case, the believers must continually bear the needs of the mission fields as a burden upon their hearts during the coming year.

But even in 1910 the list of outgoing missionaries was a large one. It is as follows:—
