Self-Supporting Mission Work
Self-Supporting Mission Work.—Mrs. C. L. Goodenough, of Johannesburg, Transvaal, Africa, writing to the Missionary Herald, mentions two notable workers for Christ:— "You will be interested in Mr. and Mrs. Pindela. They have taken up this mission work from real love to Christ. "They have no salary, nor any remuneration for this Gospel work except being provided with two furnished rooms to live in. They do laundry work during the day for their support, and give their evenings and Sundays to carrying on the mission. Pindela has a rare quality for a native,—he is a man of great humility. Perhaps this is why he is so much respected by all around, both white people and black. Many of the white people here are bitterly opposed to evangelizing the natives, and it gives us great joy that all our native helpers here are men of such sterling character that even these unsympathetic white settlers are constrained to acknowledge their worth. Pindela's face is full of joyful hope as he tells us how well the Gospel work is progressing."
