To the Regions Beyond.

The Review and Herald of January 13 gives a list of 134 missionaries sent out into the regions beyond during 1909, and this right on the very top of an expensive General Conference. The year before 140 went out, nearly double the number of any former year. It did seem, the secretary, Brother W. A. Spicer, writes, as tho there must be a halt called; but the demands have come and the missionaries have offered themselves and they have been sent, almost as many as in the year before, and it is very probable even more than the year before if news had been gotten from the Australasian fields when this list was compiled. Almost every field in the world is covered or is named in these appointments. This demands greater sacrifice, a larger amount of funds for mission fields. The secretary says, “It is marvelous how the money has come in to keep such a procession moving into the fields,” and yet he feels that a larger force should go in 1910.
