A Land of Unevangelized Villages

By J. C. LITTLE

WE were prospecting for a new headquarters site in eastern Bengal, Brethren A. G. Watson, L. G. Mookerjee, and I, traveling much by boat on river and canal. On our way to Madaripur we passed thousands of villages swarming with Bengali people. The vast majority of them know nothing of Christ and the gospel. As we saw these countless villages, and realized that beyond the mile or two of our vision, on each side, lay hundreds of miles in the same condition, we had brought home to our hearts very forcibly the great work before us, and the need of more laborers for the Lord's harvest. When will these millions for whom Christ died receive the warning? Who will accept the burden, and come over and help us give the last message of mercy before it is too late? My dear brother or sister, as you read of these millions who sit in darkness, ask yourself the question, Have I done my duty by them? or is God calling me to bring to them the light of life?
