Responding to the Call for Missionaries

By Editor

MANY of the new appointees selected at the time of the General Conference to go to the far ends of the earth with the message are gladly responding to the call of God for messengers. These letters of response mean much. Just a few words in the letter may express the decision, but back of that are the many prayers, the severing of fond ties, the earnest solicitation of friends who may urge duties at home, all of which are known to the Lord. We honor our young people who brave the consequences and go in response to the call of the hour for laborers. Yet we must not forget that their decisions to respond to our call impose responsibilities upon us who stay. Let us not forget the increased expense to the Mission Board at this time, and bring liberal gifts at the Midsummer Offering occasion just before us, Sabbath, July 26.
