THERE WAS a time when the mission school work in the south was hampered because of a lack of suitable teachers rather than the lack of funds. But conditions seem to be reversed now; the Gospel Herald says there are now several teachers prepared to enter the work, but there is a lack of means with which to establish the schools.

Can it be that we have come to the point where disasters are necessary in order to loosen the grasp of the Lord's people on the treasures of earth? Some donations to the society, sent to North Station, Nashville, Tenn. would give a new impetus to this good work.
