Homes for Our Missionaries
By W. T. Knox
IN this number of the REVIEW will be found the statement of the $300,000 Fund to May 1. While the report shows that there has been only $9,044.75 forwarded to the General Conference thus far, reports from the different conferences indicate that the campaign is going forward aggressively in almost all parts of the field. Many of the conferences are working for and securing promises that will provide for their entire portion of the fund during the year 1910. If this plan is generally followed, and the funds promised are forthcoming by Jan. 1, 1911, it will be a great help to many fields. Are there not some of our brethren who would esteem it a privilege to undertake to supply the necessary means to erect a home for some of our workers in such fields as China, Japan, Korea, India, or Africa, and thus hasten relief to our brethren in these countries, who are forced to live under such unfavorable, and in most cases unsanitary, conditions in native dwellings? To erect such a home would in most cases cost from five hundred to one thousand dollars. The General Conference treasurer would be very glad to correspond with any who would be interested in such a work.
