Mission Tour and Family Bereavement

By Editor

Pastor R. C. Porter left Cape Town, March 23, for a three months' tour among the South African mission stations. He will first go to Solusi, and from there to the Barotseland Mission, then to Somabula, Tsungwesi, and on to Nyassaland. He will be accompanied by Miss Mary Long and Miss E. Edie, from Beira to the Malamulo Mission. These two sisters go to connect with the mission as workers.

In a recent letter from Pastor J. O. Miller, president of the Maritime Conference, and his wife, they speak as follows concerning the death of their son Esta Miller, who died recently in Shanghai, China:—

"We take this means of expressing our sincere thanks to the many brethren and sisters throughout the land, for their expressed sympathy by letter to us, in the loss of our dearly loved son Esta, who recently passed away in Shanghai, China, while at his post of duty. While we are unable to explain such a sad occurrence, we can not question the wisdom of our Heavenly Father, and will bow submissively to the divine will. Surely the Lord will supply his place in that great, needy field."
