Foreign Missions and Songs of Zion

By Editor

THIS number of the REVIEW is largely devoted to the interests of foreign missions. All will read with pleasure the testimonies of hope and courage from our missionaries in our World-Wide Field department. In the same department will be found a valuable compilation furnished by Brother H. E. Rogers, showing the work this denomination is doing in Catholic and heathen lands. These statistics are valuable for preservation.

A BOOK of unusual interest comes to the Mission Board from Elder and Mrs. Anol Grundset, of the Abyssinian Mission, on the border of Abyssinia. The book is hand printed, by the hectograph process, and home bound, the work being neatly done. We can read only the title-page, which is in English, "Songs of Zion in the Tigrina." Then follow twenty-six pages in the peculiar Ethiopian script, "containing seventeen Seventh-day Adventist songs." We thank God that these hymns of the Sabbath and the advent are ringing out on the Abyssinian border.
