EXPERIENCES IN AFRICA

Too Few Teachers

The past year, work in the West African Gold Coast region has been reopened by W. H. Lewis, who has found a healthful site some two hundred miles inland. He writes:

“We began school the first of January, and have about forty-five students enrolled. Last week, we started another school about six miles from this place, with thirty boys enrolled. I did not like to open this school with our small staff of workers; but the chief urged that he would give us thirty boys to begin with, and furnish buildings for the teacher and the school, and would give all the land needed, also put up a good school building himself later. So I sent a teacher over to him.

“We have had calls from several other chiefs to open work in their towns, but we have not the teachers to answer the calls. The Lord has greatly blessed us thus far, and we are trusting Him to send us more teachers. The harvest is great, but the laborers are few. Pray the Lord of the harvest to send more reapers.”
