Three of our missionaries, Misses
Owings, Buie and Edwards, who came
from Korea via. Europe and were there
when the war broke aut, reached home
without serious inconvenience
The missionary had to explore the
unknown countries and find the peo-
pie. If we could get hold of map Of
hundred years ago when we first be-
gan to send foreign missionaries, we
would be surprised to find that only Il
few big cities on the sea were known
in China and Japan and Turkey, and as
for Africa, that whole continent was
marked "unexplored" The great ex-
plorer of Africa was a missionary. It
was David Livingston. One day he
said: 81 will open path through the
country or perish" He did it. There
are eight hundred million people liv-
ing today in countries that a hundred
years ago were unknown and closed
to the Gospel.

A few years ago, young man left
his fathers farm to seek his fortune
in the Canadian West. He got into
bad company, and was left one day by
the roadside drunk and unconscious.
At that place, living in little sod COW
cred shack there was young man
who had been sent out by missionary
society. He loved men and sought
them in the spirit of his Divine Mas
ter. He found the drunken fellow, car
ried him to his shack, placed him in
his bed, and worked over him until he
brought him back to consciousness.
Then after he had fed him he remon-
strated with him for wasting his life,
and prayed earnestly with him. The
young man confessed his sins, was par
doned and regenerated. In after years
he said: 81 tremble to think of what
I should have been but for that faith
