We see Afri­ cans coming with bundles of firewood on their heads as a contribution for missionary work. It was all they had. In Korea we see six hundred people gathered for prayer and song. In India we see a little Hindu girl at t'he Mission school. Her people com­ pel her to marry a middle-age man.

Coming recently from the West she was able to- speak under- standingly. Saskatchewan in particu­ lar was in great need. She spoke of one layette having to be passed to seven different mothers. She spoke of the greatness of ou-r work. Truly, O.H.M.S.
