“SIGNS” INDIA MISSION FUND.
By Editor
In our Missions department will be found an appeal by a missionary to the millions of India, who feels India’s needs, who longs to save India’s perishing souls, who has given his life to that work, yet who also recognizes dangers which may be avoided. Prof. J. L. Shaw and wife are staying in America this year to recruit from disease contracted in the low, fever-stricken, disease-laden, coast districts of India. They soon expect to return and face those dangers again; but Professor Shaw feels that the wiser way to give one’s life for the Master is to preserve it for the strongest service, unless God calls otherwise. Not for himself is he pleading, but for India and the better service of India’s workers. He would build a mission, a center, a school of prophets, so to speak, in the cooler, more elevated, healthier hill country of India, toward the white Himalayas, among millions and millions who know not God. Here, in the hottest months, missionaries will come from the man-devouring lowlands to recruit and at the same time to labor. From here they will go forth refreshed to battle again for souls in miasma-laden and famine-stricken fields of the lowlands. Who wishes to give to this noble work of these self-sacrificing missionaries? To whom does this neediest of all needy mission fields appeal? Are there not those who have thousands in earthly banks, but who wish to transfer their treasures to securer places? Why not try the Bank of Heaven, and purchase India Mission stock? God has already turned the hearts of some this way. We credit the following: Alex Gilmore — $2,000.00
