A Mother’s Blessing for Missionary Service

As we chronicle the departure of young missionaries to the far fields from month to month, we think of parents at home who are making precious gifts to the cause of Christ in the mission fields. The other day Miss Murphy, of the Foreign Mission Seminary, sent word to her parents that she had been asked to go to South America. The mother answered from the Ohio home: “Our hearts go with you to the new field. We may never meet here again, but if faithful to the end, we shall meet again with joy. I would not for the world discourage you. This is the work and the time for which we have been trying to help you to prepare. Our prayers go with and will follow you.” Truly it is a time that calls for the dedication of lives and children and means and all to the spread of the closing gospel message to every nation, kindred, tongue, and people.
