lected to send men to England, where they could commence at once to preach and scatter publications in our own language. Yet this is doubtless all consistent with the providence of God. Had the opposite course been pursued, the English mission would now be far advanced, while there would have to be a delay of years before we could do much in the French, German, and Italian languages. Now our brethren there are fairly prepared to work in these languages just as the English mission is to be entered upon with vigor, and thus both can be nearly on an equality in closing up the great work for the world.

This mission is another grand step in this great work. Firmly believing God is in it, and that he will abundantly sustain his servants who shall go there to labor, and not doubting the readiness of our people to fully equip this mission as Brother White has suggested, let us all do our part, as individuals, in establishing and sustaining it, and be faithful in our stewardship. May God abundantly bless the English mission.
