The Best Mission Field in the World

“I HAVE the best mission field in the world.” This is the sentiment expressed by Elder D. C. Babcock, who has charge of our work on the West African Coast, justly termed on account of its deadly climate, the “white man’s grave.” Brother Babcock for the most part has enjoyed excellent health, and feels confident that if the recruits supplied to the field in the future will go gladly and hopefully, with confidence in God and using proper precautions for the preservation of health, there is no reason why they likewise should not work as freely in Africa as in any other mission field. Our mental and spiritual attitude toward difficult propositions determines in a large measure our success or failure.
