A Request to our European Missionaries:

By Dudley Marvin Canright

We are all deeply interested in the reports of our European Missionaries. We want to understand them; but these missionaries make their financial statements in the language of the countries where they live. They report that they took up a collection of so many francs, they have paid out so many pounds, and it costs so many pence. Now all this language is unintelligible to ninety-nine one-hundredths of our American readers. They do not have the least idea of how much a franc is. And even those who do know are bothered to stop and reckon it up and change it into American money. Dear brethren, please make your financial statements in American terms, in dollars and cents, so that they can be readily understood by all.
D. M. CANRIGHT.
