The Way Prepared Through the Wilderness

By W. A. S.

WELL may we thank God for the providential preparation of the way into Africa since the first entry of our work.

The other day, in the conference, I turned to Elder W. H. Anderson, of the Barotseland Mission, who came out seventeen years ago to enter the Rhodesian field, and asked, “How long would it have taken me, seventeen years ago, to make this trip through the missions, that we now expect to accomplish in the next two months?” “It would have taken nearer two years than one, I think,” was the reply.

Now we figure out by the time-table about what day a station can be reached. Seventeen years ago we should have been estimating about what month a given destination might be reached with favorable weather and fordable rivers.

As the message has entered these regions, the path has been opened before it. God has made a way through the wilderness for a quick work. W. A. S.
