For the Sake of the Cause

By W. A. S.

We are frequently reminded of the fact that our missionary money goes a long way further in the field work than the funds of the great missionary societies. It is because our laborers work for the bare living wage, denying themselves of desirable comforts and conveniences, in order that the message may be hastened on.

Thus, along with the call for two missionaries for a certain field, an organ of one of the missionary societies asks special provision for the added expense, as follows:—

For outfit, expenses to that field, and first year's salary for these two families, $4,260.

In planning to send two missionaries to that same field our own Board would add about $2,260 to its estimates, for sending and supporting the first year.
