We have nothing but words of good cheer to report from this part of God's vineyard, Darkest Africa. Many of the people for whom we have been laboring for years, seemingly uninterested, are now turning their faces Zionward and joyfully coming to hear the word of life preached. Churches have been organized, boys have been trained who are giving their very lives for the salvation of their fellows. A little over a year ago thirteen souls were baptized. Many were present on the occasion, and the Spirit of God impressed them with its solemnity. After the baptism came the ordinances of the Lord's house, a soul-feast of good things.
Who of the many in the home field are preparing to go as messengers to help warn the souls for whom Christ died? There is great need of laborers, the field is large, the people are many, and the work is great. Many are needed to constantly enlarge the work. Our watchword is onward, desiring to plant the banner of the cross of Jesus in every dark corner of Africa, remembering that Ethiopia has her hands outstretched to God. So with faith in His word and work, the truth of God is finding its way into the heart of this land.
