WE MUST HAVE KNOWLEDGE OF MISSIONS.
By Carolyn M. Spencer
THERE is nothing truer in my experience than this little quotation, printed on the back of a pamphlet on missions recently received: “Know, and you will feel. Know, and you will pray. Know, and you will help. You will be ashamed of the sluggishness of the isolation, of the selfishness which has made you think only of your own people, and your father’s house.” Those young people who begin to “know” may not only begin to “feel ashamed of the sluggishness and selfishness which make them think only of their own people, and of their father’s house,” but they may show the results of their feeling and thinking in action, perhaps by the offering of their lives to the service of the Master in the place where the need is greatest—in India, Africa, China, or Japan.—Carolyn M.
