Rain and Blessing at Solusi Mission

THE newspapers have reported severe drought in Rhodesia, South Africa. Letters from our missionaries confirm the reports. Elder W. C. Walston, of the old Solusi Mission, writes: "However, the rains came on, but too late to do much good generally, and as a result there will be short crops throughout this section of Rhodesia. For several weeks we made the needs of our mission a subject of special prayer, both in private and in our meetings in the church. The Lord certainly answered our prayers in a signal manner. We had very good rains, even when our neighbors received none. It has been a matter of remark throughout this section by both white and native people how we have been favored. I think our crops will be as large as last year. We do praise the Lord for his goodness to us in so many ways. We have been blessed with good health, good crops, and success in our work for the natives. We have thirty in our baptismal class."
