Malamulo Mission, Nyasaland, Africa
By C. ROBINSON
As we usually enjoy writing or telling about the phase of the work which is the most encouraging and hopeful, I shall write a few lines about our Bible classes. It is by joining these classes that our boys and girls signify their desire to learn more of Jesus, so that they can be baptized. They would rather be baptized at once, but we require of them from two to three years’ preparation for that ordinance. Our largest class is at Malamulo, where there are one hundred and twenty-seven on the roll at the present time. Quite a number of these are almost ready for baptism, having been constant members for over two years, while some have joined recently, taking the places of a few who love this world’s goods. It greatly encourages us, as we meet with them each Sabbath afternoon, to know that the fact that they are in that class is evidence that their hearts have been touched by the gospel of Jesus Christ, and that they wish to follow him. We feel the responsibility which such a large class places upon us, and we ask you to pray that we may have wisdom in pointing them to the Saviour. In the village schools of the Malamulo section there are two hundred and fifty-eight on the rolls of the Bible classes. This gives an idea of what our teachers are doing; and as many of those who are in the class at the main station were drafted in from the village schools, we can easily see that those teachers are the greatest asset of the Nyasaland Mission. We thank God that they are doing such a good work.
