OUR LIST OF MISSION FIELD WORKERS.

We commend to our readers the catalogue of our missionary workers and
their stations, in our magazine of this month. Mere names and places
have very little interest to the general reader, but a study of this
list to one who is interested in mission work, and who has the welfare
of his country at heart, will prove to be very suggestive. Some of the
larger institutions, schools and churches, are familiar to many, but
the greater number probably have never been located by our readers
upon the map. There are 243 stations with 617 workers.

Each station represents a great deal of missionary consecration and
devoted service for the Master. Could our readers look in upon these
workers it would quicken the spirit of their own consecration and
benevolence. If they could hear the bell which early calls the
students to prayers, and to their studies; if they could unite with
those engaged in their morning devotions; if they could listen to the
faithful and able instruction of line upon line, and precept upon
precept, this list would cease to be a mere catalogue of names and
places, and would become alive with history.

Nobly are these missionaries doing their work. Let them have the
prayerful sympathy of those whom they represent. Let them feel that
their burdens are lightened and their days are brightened because they
are remembered by their home churches. Do not forget them when you
utter the prayer of our Master, "Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on
earth as it is in heaven."

These missionaries, teachers, and ministers, do not ask the compassion
of those who remain at home. They are happy in their chosen work. They
see the need as it cannot be told. They have a rich reward in the
assurance that their lives, which they have invested in this way, are
bringing abundant returns
