Mission Notes

A new Sabbath-keeper is reported by Brother J. A. Morrow, of Bermuda.
Elder R. W. Munson writes from Padang, Sumatra: “After a year of teaching, seven Chinamen have asked for baptism, and ere long I shall bury them in baptism with Christ. The outlook is encouraging, and the work is onward in this part of the field.”
China contains about one quarter of the total population of the world, people with souls for whom Jesus died. Should the 2,785 missionaries be equally divided over the vast empire, every two would have a district of 1,315 square miles, with 291,447 heathen! Can you realize what that would mean? In this land we have a minister to every few hundred population, with evangelists and Christian workers on every side.
