Our Next Number

By Editor

OUR readers will be interested in seeing in our next number the photographs of the large company of missionaries who sailed from San Francisco for the Orient August 1, and another company of seven who sailed from Seattle August 9. This is by far the largest number of missionaries sent out in any one decade of days since the work started. Both of these companies were made up of devoted, earnest men and women, whom we may well feel proud to send forth as our representatives. They form a large company whose hearts God has touched, who are filled with missionary zeal for his service, and who will be used in a mighty manner in carrying the gospel into the regions beyond. Even now they are on the broad ocean en route for their fields. Let us pray God to preserve them and keep them from the dangers of ocean travel in these troublous, warring times.

Next week we shall also take pleasure in publishing an article from each one of our college presidents in the North American Division, setting forth the particular advantages of the school of which he has charge. We hope that these articles will prove a great rallying call to our young men and women everywhere to secure an education in one of our Christian schools for service in this world-wide work.
