Encouraging News for China

WHEN Elder F. A. Allum left the General Conference for a visit in his home land, Australia, before returning to China, it was suggested to him that if possible he find one or two good men in the Australasian field for leaders in the colporteur work in China. The following from Elder J. E. Fulton, the Australasian Union president, tells how Australia responded to Brother Allum’s efforts in the field:—
“I am glad to tell you that we have selected two of our best canvassers for China, two of whom we are proud, and are whom we offer freely, praying God’s blessing upon them. Their names are H. Stacey and A. Mountain, Jr. They are both young men with good Christian experience and with good canvassing records. Brother Allum is highly pleased. We gave him a free hand in the selection of these men, and we were glad for his counsel.
“We are also giving a special Sabbath-school offering throughout Australasia to pay the transportation of these brethren to China. Both of these brethren are very dear to us, and we can ill afford to spare them; but we see your need, and your appeal has touched our hearts, so we give them freely. I trust they may never disappoint you, and that they may labor as earnestly in their new field as they have labored in Australia.”
Our hearts are full of gratitude to God for this liberal response of Australia to the appeals and needs of the Orient.
