German East ‘Africa

By A. C. Enns

A. C. ENNS
“Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.” “I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.”
The Christian is always happiest when he is doing his duty, regardless of the results. The knowledge of being at his post is a satisfaction to him, and leaves him in a state of peace at heart, which results or conditions cannot alter. It is the duty of each one who is called to missionary work to go and preach the gospel, and he will never be deprived of the presence of the Commander. This we can verify very easily by a few words regarding the work in our field.
Last year was a year of preparation and sowing; this year we reap. Although we were not missing results last year, we have more than five times as many baptisms the first quarter as we had the whole of last year. We thanked God last year for the four stations, Kihuiro, Mauiba, Vunta, and Suihi, and that we could baptize fourteen believers. With the close of the first quarter of 1913 the reports show that at the four stations we had about eighty baptisms, and we have hope that the next quarter will, with God’s help, show fully as encouraging a report as this quarter.

Now, brethren, is it not best to be at our work? “Winning souls” is the motto of the Kihuiro Young People’s Missionary Society. We are all young, and all are aglow with the idea of winning souls for Jesus. We have newly organized our society, and the groups are going from place to place holding meetings, singing, praying, and preaching the gospel. Every Sabbath, each village has its group holding services, so that where formerly only five to ten per cent heard the sermon on a Sabbath, each one of the two thousand inhabitants of Kihuiro hear the gospel now in his own village each Sabbath. Taking Isa. 55:11 literally as it says, “So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it,” we can look forward to the harvest of the great Sower.
Now as the fields are white, pray the Lord to send reapers to gather in the wheat into the great garner of heaven.
