Booth Family Resettles at Plainfield Mission, Cholo
FROM a private letter of August 24, written at “Plainfield Mission Station, Cholo, British Central Africa,” we learn that Brother Joseph Booth and family had reached the end of their long journey, and were again settled in their former field of work. Of the other members of the party Brother Booth says: “Our very good friends, the Branch family, were separated from us August 9 at Chinde, the mouth of the Zambesi River, by the action of the British officials, so that we had to come forward alone. It appears there is a disposition to close the door of entrance to the American negro in the British official circles so far as South and East Africa are concerned. However, I learn to-day that after seven or eight days’ detention at Chinde, the Branch family have been allowed to follow, and we expect their arrival in a few days.” We are thankful that the protecting care of our Heavenly Father has been over these fellow workers in all their experiences, and shall hope to have reports from time to time of the progress of their work in spreading the message in the dark continent.
