Missionary Delays and Language Study

BROTHER and Sister Joel Rogers find for themselves away up on the Tanganyika plateau, unable to open their mission work on account of conditions imposed by the war. While waiting, they are studying the language. They are living in a “wattle and daub hut, built round, with dirt floor and thatch roof.” Their windows are made of calico. The friendly bomma, an official, observing the plight of their leaking roof, sent thatch and workmen to put on a new one. This delay in getting their mission started is trying, but they are there, and no doubt some seeds of truth will be planted in fruitful soil.
From North India a report brings the good word that three missionaries are beginning the study of Urdu, the language in which labor may be carried on among Moslems. They expect that one or two others will pass this year who did not get through last year.
