Mission Notes

THE MOHAMMEDANS comprise about eight tenths of the whole population of Egypt. Thus far we have been able to do nothing for them.

BROTHER B. CONNERLY writes that he hopes that the needy millions in Porto Rico may be remembered at the General Conference, and that prayers may be offered that the Lord will lay upon the hearts of some of our brethren a burden to go there, or to send some one else. He adds: “There could scarcely be found a needier field.” He offers to correspond with any who may contemplate coming as a self-supporting worker.

DR. R. S. INGERSOLL writes from the Calcutta Sanitarium that they are planning to open a training school in connection with the institution, for the training of workers. Of his own experience, he says: “The Lord certainly is very good to us, and I feel more than ever in my life that his hand is in this work. I never yet had reason to doubt it; but certainly my faith is stronger, in spite of difficulties, than it ever was before. I have been thinking much of late of how little we realize the shortness of time, and how differently we would do the work if we fully realized that the coming of our Saviour was so near. I am sure that if this truth could take hold of our lives, this one thing would constitute a grand revival, and would mean an increased success in our work.”
