An Appeal for Missionary Help

In the year 1906 seventy-six new laborers entered our mission fields; in 1907, fifty-eight; and this year will very likely close with the largest number sent out by our Board in any one year. The workers this year have gone to strengthen the forces in Europe, South Africa, East Africa, Sierra Leone, Egypt, the Abyssinian border, Syria and Asia Minor, India, the East Indies, South America, China, Korea, Japan, West Indies, Mexico, and Central America. And every worker added abroad means added responsibility to pray and give at home.

The facts stated in this paper constitute in themselves an urgent appeal for help in carrying the advent message speedily to all the people of every nation. This great truth of the imminence of our Lord's return is being emphasized less and less, and seems to have been lost sight of entirely by many professed teachers of the gospel. Those who feel the importance of proclaiming throughout the world the nearness of the Saviour's coming may feel impressed to make donations for the benefit of this movement. The help thus received will be conscientiously used in the great effort to give the advent message to all the world in this generation.
