A Cheering Note of Missionary Advance

By T. E. Bowen

FROM every quarter come encouraging words telling of the rapid advance the message is making among the nations. One of the most cheering features in this practical, onward march is the attitude union conferences are taking in the matter of carrying on mission work in some needy field.

The Australasian Union is doing most noble work in the great Pacific island mission field. Laborers and means are being sent from their home land into this fruitful mission territory, which proves a great stimulus to their home work.

The German Union Conference has undertaken mission work in that territory known as German East Africa, and God is greatly blessing this work, both in the mission itself and in the conference at home.

Also the British Union Conference is supporting missionary operations in British East Africa. Of their work, Elder E. E. Andross, president of the British Union, writes: “I have just received a most encouraging letter from Brother Carscallen, in Africa. They are getting their work started in very good shape in the mission station, and I am glad to tell you that our brethren all through this field are taking a very deep interest in it. The money is coming in for the support of the work very much better than I expected. I am sure that this is a blessing to our work here, and will prove to be more and more so as we carry it forward.”

This united work of our union conferences reveals at least one of the very important keys in the hands of the Lord for solving the problem of proclaiming the message in all the world in “this generation.”
