An Appeal for Foreign Missions
A most earnest appeal is made in the August number of the Home Missionary. One paragraph reads: “The Lord is greatly blessing the dear ones who have gone from us to follow the example of the Saviour in a life of sacrifice. Many of those that sit in darkness are calling for the Word of life. Calls are coming from the east, the west, the north, and the south, wherever our workers have gone, for more laborers of all classes, and if these are sent, they must be sustained by the funds of the Foreign Mission Board alone. Shall we send them?” What will our readers reply to this simple query, based on these plain facts? Millions are dying in darkness, and their debtors we are. Jesus Christ bought them from sin and death as well as we, and he asks our cooperation in passing on the Gospel that redeemed our souls to others. Do not hesitate because you can not give large sums. Remember the poor widow. The address of the treasurer of the Foreign Mission Board is W. H. Edwards, 1730 North Fifteenth Street, Philadelphia, Pa.
