Asia, Africa, Latin America Gnclud-

which the missionaries of Southern

Our missionaries already on the
field have wrought wonderfully for the
master. considering the difficulties
they have lad to confront DR.. J. F.
Love, secretary OF foreign missions,
declares, but we at home have not
,eupported them as we ought with help
!ers of all kinds and with schools, hos
pitfalls and other agencies to enable
them to do a larger work in every way.
The smallness of the work we have
done already can be realized when we
look at the vast lumber of people who
have moi been reached in the foreign
fields we are occupying today. China,
for instance, has a population four
times that of the United States, or one
fourth the population Of the entire
world, and our force there consists Of
only Sc men. 81 married women, ID
unmarried women, 81 ordained natives
and 42O unordained native helpers.
Japan, which has half as many people
Rs the United States, is being served
By s men, 8 married women, 8 unmar
ried women, IL ordained natives and 6
hnOrdained native helpers. In Italy
there are a third as many people as
there are in the United States, yet We
have there only 2 men, 2 married WON
en, &c ordained natives, and 8 unordain-
cd native helpers. Mexico has IL, 000, 600
peOpIe. and We have in that country
and on the border a missionary force
consisting of II men, II married WON
en-, 3 unmarried women, "a ordained
natives and Is unordained native help
ers. Argentina has a population Of
5000, 600, I'M u missionary force
there consists OF z men, z married
woman ID ordained natives oud 7 nv
ordained native helpers. In Africa.
we hav entered only one state, that
of Nigeria, but this state has a popu-
lation Of 20, 600, 900, and to serve those
people we have only Z men mission
aries, 6 married women, 8 unmarried
women; 3 ordained natives and 50 I'M
ordained native helpers. Brazil has a
territory larger than all the United
States and a population of $4,000 600.
Serving those people we have a force
of 81 men, 33 married women, 2 un-
married women, 50 ordained natives,
and So ~unordained native helpers. Our
work in Chile, where there are 5000.
600 people, is only two years old, but
we have II churches, and IL out-sta-
: lions, in which last year there were
122 baptisms. We need at least
200 more missionaries now and from
the proceeds OF this campaign we hope
to employ them and then equip them
and those on the field already for do.
