Emmanuel Missionary College

By O. J. GRAF.

Students and Foreign Missions
RECENTLY at the close of a chapel exercise, slips of paper were passed to the students on which they were asked to answer these questions:—
  1. Are you planning to go to a foreign field as a missionary after you have obtained your education?
  2. Are you willing to go if the Lord should call you?
  3. What is your choice of field?
The slips were gathered and the answers classified with the following interesting results: Those definitely planning to go to foreign fields, 49; willing to go if the Lord calls, and have a choice of field, 33; willing to go if the Lord calls, but have not a choice of field, 50. Total, 132. Total number of replies received, 156.
A classification of the fields chosen revealed the following:—
China .................... 19 India .................... 19 Africa ................... 17 South America ............ 14 Japan ..................... 4 Holland ................... 1 Persia .................... 1 Islands ................... 1 Abyssinia ................. 1 Australia ................. 1 Cuba ...................... 1 Mexico .................... 1 Total .................... 80
It is our prayer that the Lord will help these young people to prepare speedily and thoroughly for the work to which they are consecrating their lives.
