Help for West African Missions

Depend upon it, our missionaries are praying that those in the home lands may be given special help in planning liberal gifts for missions at this annual offering.

Once again, writing of West Africa’s disappointment in not receiving help, the Elder D. C. Babcock quotes from “Gospel Workers:” “Victories are frequently lost through delays,” and, “Long delays tire the angels.” “I can not tell you,” Elder Babcock adds, “all the sadness there is in this long delay.” Unable to get a worker to the Gold Coast, he fears that much has been lost there among a hundred believers or more, newly come to the faith, scattered among the heathen, with no one in charge in the whole region. We do ask our brethren to pray and work most earnestly to send help this coming week of prayer to the hundreds of mission stations where the hands of our workers are weakened by the lack of funds in the treasury.
