Thankfulness in the Mission Field

SPEAKING of the thankfulness of workers in the mission field for the support given to missions, Brother B. Judge, of Sumatra, tells how this liberal giving on the part of our churches begets the same spirit in the mission fields. "I was astonished," he says, "when I made up our own little report for the year, to find that our receipts from all sources, even in Sumatra, were a shade over $1,095."

Sabbath Question Sermon in India

By Editor

WE have received a copy of the Times of India, published in Bombay, containing a full report of a sermon on the Sabbath question, preached by Elder G. F.

This paper is one of the leading papers of India, and we are glad to see the publicity being given the message for this time in the west of India.

A Call for Workers in China

FROM Elder James E. Shultz, who has been appointed editor of the Chinese Signs of the Times, in Shanghai, we learn that Chinese Christians in the province of Shan-si, belonging to independent churches founded by the late Pastor Hsi, are calling for a worker to come to them with this definite message of the coming of the Lord. Thus in provinces far beyond the lines of our present work the literature is pioneering the way.
