OFF FOR INDIA.

By W. A. Spicer

As the REVIEW announced last week, there is a moving out toward the fields abroad. This week a party of five sail from New York, en route to India. They are Prof. and Mrs. J. L. Shaw, Misses Annie Knight and Donna Humphrey (nurses and Bible teachers), and the father of Sister Shaw, Elder G. K. Owen, who goes to the field of service at his own charges. These workers go out believing that they are sent of God to the needy East. As I have just come from that field, and know the need and the anxiety with which the few workers are watching for immediate help, I wish in this case to express my thankfulness to God that He has called this little company to go at once. They have a grand field to work in, just because of the sin and the darkness. In India and China half the world is waiting to hear the message of preparation. The signs of the soon coming of the Lord cause many even of the heathen to expect some great, decisive event involving the fate of the whole world. Pray for workers, brethren, and rally to push the work into the regions beyond, and God will soon bring the triumph.
