Mission Workers Safe Amid East African Hostilities

THROUGH Elder Guy Dail, secretary of the European Division, at present in Holland, we have received a copy of a letter from Elder A. A. Carscallen, superintendent of the British East African Mission, reporting the workers all well. The workers have found it necessary, however, in view of hostilities along the shores of the Victoria Nyanza, to forsake some of the stations, a number of which have been wrecked. In some cases furniture and household goods were destroyed or carried away by natives taking advantage of the confused state of affairs. Most of all, Elder Carscallen regrets the loss of the mission records for the last eight years. While war is interfering, all are endeavoring to make the time count for the winning of souls in Africa.
