Missionaries Depart for Africa

By Editor

By the steamship “Baltic,” which left New York last week, six missionaries departed for England and South Africa. They were Homer C. Olmstead and wife, and J. R. Campbell and wife, all of Fernando Academy, Fernando, Cal., and S. Koenigsmacher and wife, of the St. Helena Sanitarium. These workers are expected to answer some of the calls for reinforcements at the mission stations in the South African interior. We rejoice to think that help is soon to reach stations where it is so greatly needed. Let increased prayer and giving for missions attend the increase of laborers. Still the calls come for yet more help in Africa. We learn that Elder E. R. Williams and wife, who went out last December, have been assigned to evangelistic work in the colonial field, beginning at Kroonstad, Orange River Colony.
