Missionary Advance in China
AGAIN we are reminded that the missionary advance is indeed a conflict. The last year has been a hard one in many of the tropical fields. The China Mission brethren have been sorely tried by having to recommend two of their workers to return to this country,—Elder W. A. Westworth, the superintendent of the field, and Dr. H. W. Miller, one of our pioneers in Chinese missions. These brethren have fought long against being invalided from the field, but have been compelled to yield. Elder Westworth is advised to give up thought of returning to labor again under the trying conditions and climate met with in the general China work. It is hoped in Dr. Miller’s case that he will surely return to China after a season in this country. Others must press forward to reenforce the field.
