MISSIONS AT HOME AND
ABROAD
As a Missionary Society here in
Douglas, and as individuals, may we
not profit by remembering the Sav
ior’s words on prayer? Why not set
before ourselves certain specific things
along the home missionary line and
continue to pray for these things un
til they actually come to pass? Noth
ing is hard with God.

“The man or woman who gives five
minutes or fifteen or thirty minutes
a day to pleading definitely with God
in prayer for the various Missions
through the world s surely doing as
definite a bit of work as the mission
ary himself who has gone forth to
the foreign field. O that we might
believe it!”—Bishop of Sierra Leone.

“Millions of unconverted heathen
have passed into eternity, to most of
whom the gospel was never preached
at all. All were entitled to it; to all
Christ commanded that is should be
, preached. What shall we say to the
Master when He asks us about them?”
* * *
After many months of earnest
prayer and waiting we have been able
to send a consecrated young woman
from Indiana to Panama City to do
missionary work, and open a school in
Guachapali, the poorest and most
densely populated section of Panama.

It is said that the first year of the
war has been the best year for mis

the Christians seems more genuine,
school enrollment is larger, and even
non-Christian schools are not averse
to providing Christian instructon.
