THE Foreign Christian Missionary Society of the Disciples of Christ is sending a band of three missionaries to try to gain entrance into Tibet. The party consists of A. L. Sheldon and wife, of Kansas, and Dr. Susie C. Rignhart, of Canada. Dr. Rignhart and her husband explored a part of eastern Tibet several years ago, the husband losing his life in the undertaking.

EVERY once in a while I hear some one growl against foreign missions, because the money and the strength put into them are needed at home. I did it myself when I did not know better; God, forgive me. I know better now, and I will tell you how I found out. I became interested in a strong religious awakening in my own old city of Copenhagen, and I set about investigating it. It was then that I learned what others have learned before me, and what was the fact there—that for every dollar you give away to convert the heathen abroad, God gives you ten dollars’ worth of purpose to deal with your heathen at home. — Jacob A. Riis.
