Volunteer for Tibet

By J. C. Little

We have been much interested in Tibet, and in the manner in which it seems to be opening up for the gospel. We have talked of it in our home, and when the time comes for our people and message to enter there, you may call on us to go.

This work in the Orient looms up before us as a tremendous problem. Three hundred millions are stretching their hands across the gulf of heathenism, and we are so few we are almost powerless to help them.

It is as if one man should be put into a ten-thousand-acre field of wheat with a little hand-sickle, and be told that there were only a few days in which to get it reaped, and that what he does not get done must be lost in the snows of winter. People here are going down by thousands into Christless graves, and we must stand by and see them die without God and without Christ, and eternally lost to the world to come. I do not know what we can do to make the appeal strong enough to our home people, that they may see it as it appeals to us here on the field. J. C. LITTLE.
