From a Missionary’s Letter

FROM what proved to be the last letter Brother Lynn C. Bowen wrote from the Tsungwesi Mission, Rhodesia, South Africa (a cable announced his death on June 2, of smallpox), bearing date of April 23, we take the following:—

“The Lord has greatly blessed us, for which we praise his name. We have all the land cleared and plowed inside our fence, so if nothing happens next year we expect to have over 225 acres in crops. We now have about fifty-five boys and girls at the mission, and this makes us so full that we must put up more huts just as soon as harvest is over.”

“It has been a year now since we left the States, and we have had as good health as at home. We are of good courage, and are not sorry that we came, although we are very much isolated from friends and neighbors.”

He has now laid down his work, and his wife and two small children must return, letting another go on with his work. Such is the sacrifice necessary to press the truth of God out into earth’s dark corners.
