FRIEDENSTAL, in the south Pare Mountains, was our first station in German East Africa. We have just had a good meeting, at which eighteen converts were baptized, making a total of one hundred and thirty-three for the year. Recalling but a few years past when there were none but heathen in these villages, we can only thank God that now over two hundred and fifty persons are rejoicing in "the blessed hope."
BAPTISMAL SCENE “TSUNGUESI” MISSION, MASHONALAND
The fruits of the Spirit appear in these lives. In a consecration service at the close of our recent conference, the annual offering for missions was taken up, $115 being given, nearly half this coming from the natives.
BEGINNING OF THE SELUKWE RESERVE MISSION
Twenty-two young people offered themselves for mission work among the tribes of the lake region, where our new Victoria Nyanza Mission is operating. The Pare Mountain man is very much attached to his soil, and it indicates true devotion when he volunteers to leave his home to carry the light to those still in darkness. When I asked the wives how many would be willing to leave their plots of ground and their houses to go with their husbands into regions beyond, there were lifted up many dark hands alongside all the white hands of our women missionaries. This is the power of the gospel putting the true spirit into the hearts of these new converts. E. KOTZ.
