Famine Relief for the Matabele Mission
FROM Cape Town, South Africa, Brother W. S. Hyatt writes: “The drought in Matabeleland this year has cut short their crops, and it is believed that many children will suffer and die as a result. We are sure that funds and food will be needed, in order that we may save the lives of some of the natives in the vicinity of our station.” At the recent conference in South Africa, it was recommended “that Brother Anderson be authorized, in behalf of the Matabele Mission, to provide food from the mission funds for extremely necessitous cases during the prevailing famine, until he can send a full report of the situation to enable the committee to make an appeal for help.”
