Mission Notes

THE India Mission in presenting its immediate needs calls for two nurses—a man and his wife—to assist Dr. V. L. Mann; two canvassers; a Bible worker to assist Elder G. W. Pettit as he opens work in Bombay; four couples to enter new territory, two down in the Punjab, and two for the Telegu country,—thirteen altogether.

FROM Tarsus, that city of which Paul spoke from the castle stairs, “I am a man which am a Jew of Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city,” Brother E. E. Frauchiger, superintendent of the Turkish field, sends greetings to all the believers, and also the good word that doors are opened on every side to him to preach the message. He adds that the roads are full of soldiers who want to go on to Constantinople. He sees in that which is taking place around him the fulfilment of prophecy.

FROM Loanda, Portuguese West Africa, a large assortment of post-cards illustrating the condition of the people in that part of the Dark Continent, has been received at the Mission Board Office. We have no mission station there. The brother located at Loanda, who, with his family, is doing what he can to enlighten the people in a self-supporting manner, is calling earnestly for a missionary to come to their assistance, one who can spend all his time in working among these heathen people who worship demons and know nothing of the coming King. The work must be carried on in the Portuguese language. These scenes illustrate native home life, fetish-worship in varied forms, various industries carried on, and the final parting with their dead. A promising mission field awaits the message in this part of Africa.
