A Gospel Principle Clearly Stated
The following extract from a letter recently received from a State agent sets forth very clearly the divine principle that we receive abundantly for all we give. If God's people everywhere could act upon this principle, even when the calls draw heavily upon our best workers, the great mission fields would soon be supplied with the laborers which they so much need:— “Of course we shall be very sorry to see Brother — leave this conference, but we recognize that ‘the field is the world,’ and we therefore willingly yield to the demands of a more needy part of the Master's vineyard. I believe that the influence of his example in going to a more needy field will result in leading some one else to step into the ranks to take his place here, who, in turn, will gain an experience in the work which will fit him for a place of usefulness in the regions beyond. “We are glad that in so many cases the work in this State has proved a training school for those who have gone to foreign fields, and we hope this may be the experience of many others. So if it is decided that Brother and Sister — shall go to Scotland, we will bid them Godspeed, and follow them with our prayers.”
