A Loss in India

While at this season we are making the annual offering to missions,—a precious and sacred gift of dedicated means,—some are called in unhealthful climes to give yet more precious gifts than silver or gold. Writing from India, of the sudden death of his little boy, from malaria, which evidently was lurking in the shade of the mango-trees surrounding the only available house they could find, Elder George F. Enoch says:—

We can not understand it. However, we bow the knee to Him who is above all, and pledge our lives anew to his service. Were it not for the “blessed hope” we would not know what to do; but in its light we renewed our consecration to Jesus for the hastening of the glad reunion day. Our hearts are now bound more firmly to India, and our only desire is to labor and toil here until our work is done.
