The Missionary’s Burden

A MISSIONARY in Foochow, overwhelmed with the work that is at hand, exclaims: ‘‘O, if I could only multiply myself by 10, so that each of the 10 would have only 100,000 souls for whose evangelization to be responsible! The churches at home know nothing of this stress. Even here one has to go frequently from village to village in order to realize the needs of the masses.’’ How many ministers in America are content with a parish of far less than one thousand!—Missionary Herald.
