Reports on Fourth Sabbath Missionary Service

Elder D. C. Babcock writes from the African West Coast:— “There are excellent openings in the hinterland, but we must ‘wait.’ Yesterday a leading chief and all his retinue called on me, and gave us an invitation to come to his country. He controls a large territory, and has several chiefs under him. It is about two hundred miles to his country. His son is in our school. The chief speaks good English, and was invited to Freetown by the governor to meet the duke of Connaught last week.”

“As a conference,” writes Elder Roscoe T. Baer, president of the Chesapeake Conference, “we have taken hold of this work of the fourth Sabbath missionary service in earnest.” “The fourth Sabbath readings are being enjoyed by both young and old,” writes Brother F. H. Henderson, missionary secretary of the Ohio Conference. “New life and zeal are coming in among us.” Similar reports are being received from our missionary leaders, north, south, east, and west. “The Lord measures with exactness every possibility for service. . . . We shall be judged according to what we ought to have done.” Let our missionary mottoes be “Saved to Serve,” and “Something for Each One to Do.”
