Tashkent

By G. Dail

THIS remarkable old Tartar town, in Turkestan, with an area nearly equal to that of Paris, with the roofs of the houses generally covered with flower beds, is the headquarters of our new Central Asiatic mission field, which, with the Volga, the Ural, the West Siberian, and the East Siberian field, now forms our Siberian Union Mission.

The dearth of Gospel laborers for these great fields is heartrending. To be present in missionary councils and witness the urgency with which the superintendents of the various fields call for laborers, leaves an impression that one does not forget. These men grasp for the available helpers as a drowning man grasps at a straw.
