message of the Gospel To the natives
of many distant lands-to followers of
Confucius, of Zoroaster, of Tohammed
and of many pagan gods. These work
ers are asked to give their time with
out recompense, other than the con-
seriousness of work well done. They
are expected to enter into dark places
to spread the light, brave pestilence,
heal the sick, and establish places for
physical and mental recreation, where
nothing but drudgery and care is now
known.
But with all this there are few dan
gers. None of the volunteers will be
eaten by cannibals; none will be
staked out on the desert sands to die
of heat and thirst; none wiz be cruel
