Called to Africa

By T. H. Branch; Mrs. T. H. Branch

WHILE earnestly engaged in missionary work for the Lord in Pueblo, Colo., the call came for us to answer the Macedonian cry from Africa. Immediately taking leave of brethren and fellow laborers, and of those for whom we labored, we went to Denver, our former home, to make ready for the journey.
The Lord commands us to go into all the world and preach the gospel; accordingly we packed a few necessary articles, and bidding our friends good-by, we left for Chicago. Elder Spicer met us there, and gave us all needed instructions for our journey.
At New York we were met at the pier by Brother Woods, who took us to the mission, where we were heartily received by the mission family. Next morning the mission family services were conducted by Brother Luther Warren. The lesson was on the importance of meeting the requirements of God: “Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus,” to do his Father's will. The Lord came very near by his Spirit.
Wednesday morning, June 4, we set sail for London, England, arriving there June 12. We spent our first Sabbath in London at the Duncombe Hall church. We were given a hearty welcome by all the brethren. This scripture was impressed upon our minds: “Lo, I am with you alway.” Taking the Lord at his promise, we go forward in his name to do his will.
MR. AND MRS. T. H. BRANCH.
