Words from China

By W. A. S.

At the recent general meeting of our Chinese missionaries in Shanghai, the following action was taken:—

Whereas, The time has fully come for the advent message to be proclaimed in all the world to warn the nations, and to prepare the church for the revelation of Christ; and,— Whereas, The great lands of spiritual darkness, so miraculously opened to the gospel in this generation, are urgently calling for a host of trained, experienced, God-sent missionaries as bearers of this message; therefore,— Resolved, That we express to the General Conference our high appreciation of the Foreign Mission Seminary idea, and that we pledge to it our hearty support and co-operation.

Ever since the plan of this school was announced from Gland, a year ago, missionaries in the field have often expressed their appreciation of the idea. It supplies a needed link between our training-schools and the missions, and also between the conferences and the fields abroad. A steady line of missionaries must be kept moving toward the outposts. The ideal order of march is from the training-school into the local conferences for testing and field training, and then, with service in mission fields in mind, a sharp course of preparation in the Foreign Mission Seminary for the definite work, and on to the fields where the millions wait.
