Progress of the Sumatra Mission
IN an article in the December Missionary Magazine, on Sumatra, Elder R. W. Munson writes the following good word, which all will be glad to read: “I can not close this article more profitably than by saying that in six-months’ time we have, by the help and blessing of God, opened a school, which now enrolls sixty native boys (or will when you read this); established a regular service in Malay, which is well attended by the Chinese; earned nearly one hundred dollars toward self-support; and found two male Chinese candidates for baptism, who are keeping the Sabbath and walking in the light of the Word. There is much more in sight. We are confident of being entirely self-supporting in 1901. We need helpers. Pray for us.”
