The citizen. [volume] (Berea, Ky.) 1899-1958, 1915-07-29


Also telling them that thrilling story
Of Love untold. We decided 4
would be well 10 put another evan.
gelist in that district 10 assist tht
former TO keep up with this lad II
the work and TO teach him more o.
the truth. BIZ, 10 our amazemen'
and joy he left his helpers and wa
soon of on the road 10 tell Others
Of this story which had taken such
a hold on his own life. In all he has
opened work IN nine different vii
lagos. But we do not have the evan
gelists 10 go n these villages and
they are wanting 10 know more OF
this story.
So this lad with his enthusiasm
has become a problem on our hands
What shall w do9 Shall we stay
his hands and tell him, May" God
forbid. Shall VIC leave these people
in the darkness 81 their heather Gus
toms and practices when they have
caught a glimpse Of the Light OF
the World and are crying TO us day
by day for The flood-gates TO be
opened that they might know more
o; this wonderful story? Again we
must say. God forbid" Then what
shall we doF There is but one thing
that we as a Christian people can
.h. and that is TO go in and teach
them. But VII" shall go? Our hands
a." nlnre .han full now and we have
no moro Of The native helpers TO
&C. l. there not some one in the
home land who wants TO throw his
life into this great battle for the
Kingdom and come out and help
carry the gosp,l not TO these nine
villages but TO the many, many more
which are calling us day by day to
come and help them. I have recent
" stayed at the new station site at
Banzeba for three weeks. In that
time I had fifteen delegations to
come TO me from their villages ask
ing that we serd them evangelists.
The door is op, and by aggressive
work we shall ne able to take the
for the cause so dear to
our hearts, and so dear to the heart
u our Master. But Satan will keep
rs back if he IAN and as long as he
can.
Our only horc now is to try to
hold the work until other help
,omes, and we Ear that IL we do not
Try to go forw,rd we will be CON-
Delled to lose ground. We ask the
earnest prayers Of all who read this
hat God in his goodness TO us.will
keep us true 10 the one great pur-
pose Of serving Him. Also that
'oOn the Lord Of the harvest will
send forth the laborers into this
field so rich and so open. | am sure
he friends do not realize the great
that we have out here. !
This is not Only true among the
'akuba tribe, tut is especially true
lmong the Baluba peoples. In our
,wn work we need at this time two
more ordained men and one nurse.
Ne are far from the medical staff
4 LuebO and Mrs. Washburn and
he baby have to stay there TO be
lear to the doctor and nurse. II we
My had a n'.rse we could take
hem up TO the station with us and
much time would be saved to the
My missionary who is in this field,
Or he feels tfat he owes it TO his
amily to take that long journey to
ee them once every six weeks at
last.
And not only is there this crying
eed for a nurse, but think OF the
ork that she cculd do in the healing !,
I the natives. AS she healed their :
odies she mislt point them to the
reat Healer Of the soul. Is there
OF some one Of the many nurses
/ the home land who is willing 10
)me out and felp us in this strug-
e for the K. agdom?-The Kasai
erald.
