Help for China.

ON March 2, a company of workers took passage for China from Seattle, on the steamer Minnesota. At the head of the company is Dr. H. W. Miller, who has spent about four years in China in medical, evangelical, and publishing work. With him is his wife who is a trained nurse from the Washington Sanitarium. The other members of the company are Prof. Roy F. Cottrell and wife, B. A. Roberts and wife, Mrs. Botilda Moultrop, formerly connected with the Washington (D. C.) Sanitarium, and little son. Professor Cottrell leaves the position of teacher of Bible in South Lancaster Academy (Mass.), where he has been for several years. Mr. and Mrs. Roberts are young people from the Pacific Press. Mr. Roberts goes to take charge of the electrotype foundry in the new Chinese printing-house soon to be started, while Mrs. Roberts will study the language preparatory to doing Bible work and reading proof on the Chinese publications. For the last year she has been proofreader in the Pacific Press. With these workers, Miss Etta Deehn, of the St. Helena (Cal.) Sanitarium, will sail as far as Japan, where she will assist in the Kobe Sanitarium. The Minnesota will spend a week in Japanese ports on her passage.

This makes a strong company of capable, devoted workers, among the best the home field could find. It is expected to be life-work with all of them. The prayers of God's people go with them that the blessing of the Lord may rest upon them in the labors and trials and temptations of a difficult heathen field. The SIGNS will report their progress and the progress of the work in all lands where the Gospel of the kingdom is being proclaimed.
