THE PfiEBBTTESlJ
BRIDES FOR AFRICA A MISSION
INDEX.
(By the Religions Rambler.)
A week ago there sailed from Philadelphia
a party of ten young people
from various Southern States, who are
bound for Southern Presbyterian mission
stations in the Upper Congo.
Three bridal couples lent a touch of
romance to the occasion; and to those
who are watching this missionary movement
their presence indicated the character
of the enterprise. The Souther^
Presbyterian Church has definitely established
itself on the Congo, and there
it meanB to stay until Its work of
Christianizing the natives is done. It
expects its missionaries to make their
permanent homes on the Congo, with
furloughs at intervals, and the pick of
the graduates of its educational institutions
are offering themselves to take up
the white man's burden in this nar
ticularly dark spot of the Dark ContinenJ.
This group of smiling young people
who leaned over the rail waving farewell
to friends on the dock, symbolized
a new idea in missions. They are practically
the last of the contingent called
for by the African 'mission, and they
are the Southern Presbyterian Church's
answer to the call of the Dark Continent.
On the twenty-third of August
twelve missionaries will sail from San
Francisco for Korea, completing the
tale of workers called for in that station.
The Tall of the Nations.
The loader of the 'Daymen's Mission,
ary Movement in this denomination,
which has beon largely responsible for
the organization of this new form of
mission activity, Mr. Charles A. Rowland,
of Athens, Georgia, said: "We
have answered Africa's call and Korea's
call, providing all the men and
money that our missionaries on the
field feel that were needed at oince.
Next year we expect to send from forty
to fifty new missionaries to China, completing
the equipment of our work In
that country."
There is something magnificent and
dramatic about this idea of responding
definitely to the call of a country. The
Laymen's Missionary Movement generally
has, under the leadership of J.
Campbell White, led many churches to
accept their proportionate share of the
world's mission iflelda. This is Mr.
White's greatest contribution to missions.
<In this idea the Southern Presbyterian
Church, for instance, takes a
definite responsibility for a certain number
of persons In specific non-Christian
lands?its definite share of the mission
field, and then it figures out the number
of men and the amount of money
needed to meet this obligation. A number
of the mission hoards have given assent
to this proposition, but the Southern
Presbyterians have come nearest to
carrying the thing through to actual
realization.
The Tragic Cost.
One man from the South, who had
come North to bid farewell to the African
missionaries, said as the ship
pulled out: "To see the high spirits of
these young people, one would scarcely
realize that the chances are only sixty
1n a hundred of their coming back alive.
Yet they have frankly faced this fact,
and worse. They know that only 60 per
cent, of the African missionaries survive
the first period.
"More than that, one of those men
lias been disinherited by his father, because
he decided to become a missionary.
His own brother would not shake
hands with him when they met before he
left the South. His mother will not even
write him a letter, although hoping that
she would relent he has been looking for
some message from, her at every stop
i H O* TH2 SOUTH
oa the way North. Now he has sailed
without the slightest intimation that his
mother cares for hum and is interested
in his future.
"One of the missionaries leaves a sister
stricken with typhoid fever; another
will probably not see his mother
again, for she is the victim of cancer.
"Two of thoBe young men have been
rejected by their fiancees. Im one case
i,ut3 girt atnieu saia nauy mat li the
man was bound to go to Africa ho would
Ijave to do bo alone. In the other, where
the young people had been sweethearts
for fifteen years, the girl's parents refsed
to give their consent, and, compelled
to make choice between her lover
and her family, Bhe has chosen her
family."
Who shall say that these young missiobaries
are not fulfilling the Master's
injunction to take up the cross and follow
him?
A Contractor Missionary.
All of the men in this party were ordained
ministers of the Gospel. So also
was one of theiT companions who preceded
them by a few days, In order to
reach Africa three weeks earlier amd
take charge of the mission boat "Lapsley"
on the Congo. He holds a firstclass
seaman's certificate. Thev will ho
followed by another member of their
party, the only layman among theee
volunteers who was unable to get his
affairs i<n shape in time to sail with
them. This man has been a successful
business man in the South and he
goes out at his own expense. He will
take charge of the industrial work of
the mission.
A sidelight upon the varied character
of modern mission work is shown by
the fact that accompanying this band
of missionaries were printing presses,
brick-making machines, and other paraphenalia
for industrial work. The
missionaries are really engaged in the
task of creating a new and modern
Christian civilisation in the heart of
Africa. It was the Southern Presbyterian
mission that start)ed the world
with the story of the Belgian atrocities
upon the Congo natives. Now they
are proving that their mission is con
