Missionaries Sail for Burma and Other Fields
The church at Mountain View was favored by a visit from Elder R. A. Beckner on October 25 and 26. Elder Beckner and wife, who attended our General Conference in May, and who have been enjoying a short furlough since, sailed on the Korea October 29 for their field in Burma. This makes thirty-six of our missionaries who have sailed to foreign fields from San Francisco during the last two months. A few of these were returning to their fields, but most of them were going for the first time. It is very encouraging to see the large number of recruits that are being added to our forces in foreign fields. It gives strong promise that the great gospel of the soon coming of Christ will quickly be heralded to all parts of the world.
