Farsightedness

By G. D. BALLOU

G. D. BALLOU
At the Friday meeting of the recent week of prayer in one of our Western institutions, the testimonies turned on the question of a preparation for foreign missionary work. Many clear, pointed testimonies were borne, but the illustration used by a young Japanese student of the institution seemed more clear and unique than any of the others. He said in substance:— “Many people are far-sighted and have to get glasses to adjust their eyes for near work. If these should go to a foreign field without this adjustment, they would still be far-sighted. The only way to get ready for foreign work is to have the eyes corrected for near work.” Comment would spoil this.
