Missionary Interests
In the early history of the Brethren
denomination there was considerable
opposition to the taking up of any spe-
enc missionary work in foreign fields.
But as the progressiv element ros up
they began to realize that if the
church at home was to grow. she
would have to spread out to foreign
thelds. From a small beginning in In
dia, their work has now spread over
several provinces and China has a
very prosperous mission. Several
young people will be consecrated as
missionaries at this years session OF
conference.
