FOR A
MISSIONARY HERO
WHAT THE MISSIONARY HERALD
SAYS OF DIR. BINGHAM AND HIS
HALF CENTURY SERVICE.

The Missionary Herald for January
contains the following: A half century
of missionary life has not burned out
the enthusiasm of DR.. Hiram Bingham,
who writes from Honolulu, October p:
Il want to tell you how great a day
this is with me, and how full it is Of
gratitude. Fifty years ago today the
Prudential Committee Of the American
Board appointed me as a missionary,
and her who was to become my wife
an assistant missionary. The letter an
nouncing the fact was written by the
Home Secretary on that day. 1t was
short, but to the point. You have
been duly appointed a missionary or
the American Board of Commissioners
for Foreign Missions, and designated
to the Micronesian Mission. May the
blessing of thae great Shepherd pre-
pare you to be a blessing to many
souls in those distant isles. Your
friend and brother Do you not ina
CINE that we were happy mortals? How
my dear one would rejoice to celebrate
this day with me, were she still upon
earth. 1t is a very great joy to me TO
have been for full hair century UNI
der the direction of the American
Board in my efforts to do what could
toward winning this sinful world to
the Lord Jesus Christ My prayer is
that I may die with the harness on.
1 thank the Board for the interest IN
and care for me so many, many years.
DR.. Bingham's name recalls the
splendid history of the Sandwich ISL
ands Mission and what God wrought
through heroic men. A missionary
board is to be counted trdly rich that
has such names among its imperish-
able assets.
