Praying, Giving, and Going
A SISTER enclosing her quarterly instalment of twenty-five dollars for the China fund, and two dollars, her monthly payment toward the Nyassaland educational fund, writes:— I was grieved to hear of the death of Brother Watson. It seems so strange, something that we can not understand, why God permits those who have given up home, friends, and paying positions, to enter his service in heathen lands, and who are so entirely consecrated to him, to be obliged to lay down their lives so soon. But he knows best, and we must bow in submission to his will. I sometimes think that we in the homeland do not pray as much as we ought that the lives of the missionaries might be spared, and that the life-giving power of Christ might so fill them and abide with them that disease would have no power over them. I am rejoiced to hear that there are prospects of a large missionary offering. I can not see how any one can read the REVIEW AND HERALD from week to week, with the news from all over the world of the progress of the message, without being thrilled through and through with a desire to do all that is possible to help the work along, by praying, by giving, and by going.
