Bearing Fruit for Others.

THAT is a type of these missionaries.

what they are. What do they come to
this country for? What prompts them
to leave their parents. friends and coun-
try, and come to this, to them, unhealthy
climate? Is 1t for gain-for proht-that
they come? Some OF the country clerks
in government offices receive more salary
than they. Is it for the sake of an easy
life? See how they work and then tell
to bear fruit for the benefit of others.
