The Missionary Partnership

By W. A. S.

The superintendent of the South China Mission, Elder George Harlow, closes a recent letter with the words: —

We are glad that our people in the home land are so good to us in this benighted land.

In his letter he had told of plans for securing at last the long-hoped-for mission headquarters building in Canton. “I hope erelong,” he says, “to close the bargain and go to building. We are very thankful for the good appropriation that was given us at the last committee meeting in Shanghai, and we are glad that our people in the home land are so good to us.”

Our work has so spread out that not even in the General Conference Office can the brethren watch developments and needs in detail. The union or division committees in the fields must make the

detail appropriations according to the faith needs. But when a local field gets the lift it has longed for, the hearts of the brethren in that remote field immediately turn toward the believers in the home churches, their comrades and partners in service, whose gifts that come flowing in week by week make all the advances and the victories possible, under the providence of God.
