New Millions Approached.
By W. A. S.
The new mission fields added to our list last year, as entered for the first time, or supplied with the first settled ministerial help, represent a large population. The fields and their populations are as follows:— Algeria .................. 4,429,000
Hayti .................... 1,000,000
Cuba ..................... 1,572,000
Ecuador .................. 1,271,0006
Peru ..................... 2,621,000
Bolivia .................. 2,000,000
Barotseland (estimated) ... 100,000
Sierra Leone (with Hinterland) .......... 500,000
Philippines .............. 8,000,000
Fukien Province (China) ... 10,000,000
Korea .................... 10,528,000
Total population ........ 42,021,000 It is only a beginning made among these new millions, it is true; but well may we rejoice that every year sees the providence of God adding new tongues and nations to the list of those hearing the message of Christ’s coming. Just one witness for this truth in a new territory means that the leaven of truth is set working. We ought now to be looking over the great unentered fields, and praying and planning to get at least a foothold in every country on earth. Very few nations are now left unentered.
