Our West African School

Natives from Many Sections Are in Training—Their Earnestness in Mission Work
THE past year has been the most successful, in many respects, in the history of our training-school. The main school building has been completed, and we have been enabled to purchase some equipment that we greatly needed. Our new facilities have enabled the students to do much better school work. The year had scarce half passed when several of the boys were ready for promotion; and at the end of the school year, the grades spoke well for the year's work. In this school, we have boys from Gold Coast, Liberia, and from the Mendi and Temne tribes of Sierra Leone. Already several students have entered the field as teachers, Bible workers, and licensed ministers. Under the blessing of God, many others ought to go forth into the heathen interior of Africa, to give the glorious gospel of Christ, and of His coming in this generation. During the year, although a great deal of industrial work had to be done, the students did a great amount of missionary work. A large number of religious magazines were sold, much literature was given away, and some of the students acted as interpreters in meetings held for the country heathen. It costs only eight cents a day to sustain a student in this school. How long will you support a student in training to preach the gospel in dark Africa? T. M. FRENCH.
