Foreign Missions.
The Lord Jesus said, "This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and THEN SHALL THE END COME."
Christian! do you want your Lord to come? Then do your level best to help support the noble missionaries on the Foreign Field, as they witness to the nations by preaching the Gospel of the kingdom.

Beloved, peace to thee, in Jesus' Name. Praise Him! The young man who came for prayers, whose hearing was destroyed by operations and medicines, has got his hearing. Praise God!
His father brought another relation for prayer yesterday for asthma and we had a very blessed assurance God would heal her also. She seems to hang firmly to the promises of God.
Another child, eight years old, was brought from some distance away suffering from effects of infantile paralysis, her mouth turned on one side. After anointing, the father also prayed in faith, and we believed God had done the work. Praise God, to Him be all the glory. I expect soon to be on the move again to other places. The enemy is working here as elsewhere. The seed has been sown and we know not what shall prosper, this or that, but leave the results with the Lord. The Spirit is indeed willing, but the flesh is weak, and I have often to cry: "Lord, enter Thou not into judgment with Thy servant." Feelings of weakness and dizziness will come at times, and it is hard to get victory.
Will write particulars later; feeling too weary now.
Love to all. Yours in Him. H. N. Todd.
Kolar Gold Fields, India,
October 7, 1929.
My Dear Bro. Todd,—Grace, mercy, and peace be unto you from God, our Father, and Jesus Christ, our Lord. Your letter of the 3rd inst. was received, and also the M.O., for which I thank you. I know you must have an up-hill fight in the work over there. People so soon become indifferent and hard, and do not respond to the truth, nor to the power of the Holy Spirit, and the devil is contesting the Gospel message in every way. You are not alone in having the conflicting power in your meetings. All the time the enemy is setting his agents to hinder, and prevent precious souls from coming into the life and light of the Gospel. We have to fight the good fight; we must keep the faith, knowing that we are set for the defence of the Gospel against all oncomers. We have had some splendid meetings during the past week. God, the Holy Spirit, is truly working among these dear Telugu people. I wish you could hear the bright testimonies that many of them are giving in our meetings; they encourage us to push on and to lead them to understand the Word and to come into the baptism of the Spirit. Several young men have set themselves to wait for the baptism of the Spirit. Where these young men are living and working several families have come over to us and are attending our meetings, and are asking for baptism. We have quite a number that are waiting for baptism, but we are not in a hurry to receive them as we want to be sure they are converted and living the life. Yesterday, Sunday, the English meeting in the morning was well attended, and the Telugu meeting in the afternoon was better than ever, and, at the close, seven persons came forward for healing. Truly we can say here that we go forth everywhere preaching, the Lord working with us, and confirming the Word with signs following. Amen.

THE DESIRE OF ALL NATIONS.
-
By EGBERT W. SMITH.
-
In the great mission field I was returning in the deepening twilight from a religious service with a missionary friend when suddenly I heard a wail that stopped me like a bullet. If ever I heard the cry of a breaking heart, I heard it then. It came again and again in broken and strangled words. Going nearer we saw a woman apparently about thirty years of age crouching beside a heathen temple. I asked my friend what it was she was crying. His voice shook as he answered, "She is crying, 'O grandmother, 0 grandmother, where is righteousness? I cannot bear it. I cannot endure to live any longer.' " She was in the grip of some insupportable anguish, and all she had to cry to was the spirit of her dead grandmother.
Had we the ear of Christ we should hear, too, the cry of the children, the innocent, helpless little children, growing up in the obscenity of heathen streets, poisoned by the stories of false and immoral gods, and possibly worked from twelve to fourteen hours a day seven days in the week in the swiftly multiplying factories-of the East. He that blessed and embraced the children, how would His heart go out to these millions of little ones, crushed mentally, spiritually, and often physically, under the Juggernaut of heathenism?
And the little blind girls in some parts of the East, sold or given away by their parents to those who value them only as a means of gain, doomed to lives of shame and misery, helpless and hopeless, for whom no provision is made by heathenism,—if we had the heart of Christ, could we look upon them unmoved? Some years ago two women came from a country village to Canton, each bringing a little blind girl in the hope that some one might be found who would give them a home. Both mothers were widows and had been left entirely destitute. There was no lack of maternal affection, but the crushing weight of poverty made the blind girls a burden which the mothers could not bear. With tears they told their story, saying that if no one would take the children, they would be obliged to drown them or see them starve. The poor little girls, who were old enough to understand all that was said, wept silently, and nothing could have been more pitiful than to see the tears falling from their sightless eyes. Their sorrow was turned into joy when they learned that Christianity had provided a refuge for them. In the School for the Blind, opened by a missionary, they found a happy home.
If our Lord's heart went out in pity and active help to the multitudes in Palestine ' because they were "distressed" and "as sheep without a shepherd," with what unspeakable compassion must He yearn to-day over these vastly larger, needier, unshepherded multitudes in non-Christian lands! He came down to teach and preach and heal, to shepherd the shepherd-less, to save the lost. And just this is the mission of His church. "As the Father hath sent me, even so send I you." What was it that sped our Lord on this mission? What was it that made Him so utterly compassionate and self-sacrificing? What was it that held Him to the cross? Was It the nails in His hands and feet? It was something infinitely greater and deeper, the need of which should bring His church to her knees and put on the lips of every Christian disciple this prayer:
"Blessed Lord, Thou who didst weep over a doomed city, Thou who didst pity and die for the unshepherded multitudes, Thou who didst love me and give Thyself for me,—give rae a heart like Thine."

PESTILENCE FOLLOWS FAMINE.
-
Brother W. W. Simpson, writing on June 5 from Minchow, writes that famine funds have enabled them to receive over 300 helpless, starving children into four homes they have been able to secure through the united efforts of Christians all over the world. The preaching of the Gospel has been maintained, $2000 (Chinese money) have been distributed to Christian families to keep them from starving, and three new preaching places have been opened, two of which are walled cities. Some counties are almost depopulated because of the famine, which increases in intensity every day. In some places $1 (Chinese money) will buy 2 2-3 lbs. of flour; in Minchow the price is $1 for 5 1-3 lbs. Still two months to harvest and no grain to be had. He writes:—
"A terrible epidemic is now raging, killing thousands of people, especially young children. Some families have lost all their children, and whole villages have been depopulated of children. We have had over a hundred cases among the famine children, of which about 20% were fatal. Our own daughters had it, but the Lord spared them to us. For over a month this ' plague has raged and devoured, filling all hearts with gloom and sadness. Just before the epidemic began we had special meetings for these famine children, and practically all of them confessed faith in the Lord Jesus. It was beautiful to see them praying with deep earnestness, many in tears confessing their sins and crying for mercy. We are comforted when we think that our receiving them into our homes was not in vain, even for those who were taken from us in the epidemic, for they heard of the love of Jesus. Many are waiting at the Beautiful Gate to welcome those whose gifts enabled them to hear the Gospel and accept salvation."
A tremendous difficulty facing our missionaries and the Chinese Christians is the inability to get funds into the interior. The famine, Mohammedan rebellion, brigandage, pestilence, and outrageous taxation have almost wrecked business. There is very little money in circulation, and none being sent to the coast to buy merchandise, as the people are unable to make purchases. The Shanghai Post Office will no longer sell money orders to Kansu, as they have been stolen by bandits. The following paragraph from Brother Simpson's letter is something for the Christian nations to think about. Millions for non-essentials, but how little for the suffering and starving!
"It is appalling to watch an entire province slowly but surely dying of war, pestilence, and famine! I have longed unutterably for an airplane to come to our relief. A whole squadron of them are facing tremendous dangers and fearful risks in Antarctica; one was lost and its occupants perished hunting for the 'Southern Cross' in Australia. Fliers perish by scores endeavoring to cross seas for a name and fame. Why do none come here to assist in saving the starving? Why does not the prospect of saving thousands of lives in Kansu commend itself to the birdmen and their supporters more than the empty honor of flying over the South Pole? Why does not some wealthy man who wants to encourage aviation fit out an air expedition to Kansu, bring us the money so much needed for famine relief, learn the exact conditions here, and then keep his machines busy bringing flour, cereals, and other foods to the millions whose lives he would thus be able to save? Surely the fame thus gained would far exceed that of mere polar exploration! His name would be on every tongue throughout the wide world, and angels would sing his deeds in heaven! Yet no one thinks of doing it! Millions are given to locate a few glacial peaks near the South Pole, but not a red cent to save a million lives in Kansu!"
Unless conditions improve very soon, relief by the air will be their only hope. If they could get the money in as it reaches Shanghai they could do more than double the work they are now doing toward relieving suffering. Prayer is the only hope of these missionaries, and we trust our readers will pray for this desperate situation.

Mr. and Mrs. Leader, Gombari, Congo Beige, recently visited the Pygmy settlement and held a service, the first one they have held in the Pygmy settlement. The pygmies are a despised race, even the blacks placing them in the same class as the animal world, but they are some for whom Christ died, and the Leaders gave them the Gospel with real joy. Bro. Leader writes that the villages about the 'station of Gombari are systematically worked every day in the week and there is a decided change of attitude on the part of the people toward the Gospel message.

IS IT NOTHING TO YOU?
-
"Is it nothing to you, all ye that pass by?"— Lamentations 1: 12.
-
Is it nothing to you, O ye Christians,
That Africa walks in the night?
That Christians at home deny them
The blessed Gospel light?
The cry goes up this morning
From a heart-broken race of slaves,
And “seven hundred every hour
Sink into Christless graves!"
Is it nothing to you, O ye Christians?
Will you say you have naught to do?
Millions in Africa dying unsaved;
And is it nothing to you?
-
Is it nothing to you, O ye Christians,
That in India's far-away land
There are thousands of people pleading
For the touch of a Saviour's hand?
They are groping and trying to find Him,
And although He is ready to save,
"Eight hundred precious souls each hour
Sink into a Christless grave!"
Is it nothing to you, O ye Christians?
Can you say you have naught to do?
Millions in India dying unsaved:
And is it nothing to you?
-
Is it nothing to you, O ye Christians,
That millions of beings to-day,
In the heathen darkness of China
Are rapidly passing away?
They have never heard the story
Of the loving Lord who saves,
And "fourteen hundred every hour
Sink into Christless graves!"
Is it nothing to you, O ye Christians?
Will you say you have naught to do?
Millions in China are dying unsaved;
And is it nothing to you?
-
Is it nothing to you, O ye Christians?
Oh, answer me this to-day!
The heathen are looking for you;
You can give or go or pray;
You can save your souls from guilt,
For in lands you never trod,
The heathen are dying every day,
And dying without God.
Is it nothing to you, O ye Christians?
Dare you say you have naught to do?
All over the world they wait for the light;
And is it nothing to you?
—Grace P. Turnbull, in "Latter Rain Evangel."

THE RICH MAN AND THE BEGGAR LAZARUS.
As one looks over the nations of the earth for the rich man clothed in purple and fine linen and faring sumptuously every day, it is impossible to pick China, knowing that before the coming harvest thousands upon thousands of Chinese will perish with hunger— China, whose standing wheat crop was mortgaged last winter to ward off starvation. We could not choose India, knowing the poverty of her millions—India, who is always suffering from famine in some of her provinces. Neither would one choose Africa, the habitation of cruelty, destitution, and darkness.
But think with me of a nation that does not know her wealth! America, with all her millions, her beautiful homes, her high-priced cars! America, with her costly merchandise, her stocks and bonds and unlimited resources! Picture with me the beggar that sits at our gates with sores. That beggar that sits at our gate to-day is the perishing millions of India, of Africa, of China, of South and Central America, He is not calling for your fine cars, your luxuries, your magnificent homes and sumptuous fare; but he is begging for the crumbs that fall from America's table. To-day the black hands of Africa, the yellow hands of China, the brown hands of India are reaching out for the crumbs.
Reader, there is a beggar sitting at our gate to-day, We are the rich man. We may not have thousands of dollars, we may not have unlimited resources, but we are rich in the Gospel which God has given to us. If we withhold this priceless blessing from the poor man at our gates—the heathen—God will require them at our hands.—B. Hardin, in "Latter Rain Evangel."

THE EDITOR'S CHRISTMAS MESSAGE.
On account of increasing duties the Editor is unable this year to remember individually her many personal friends -- so is giving a Christmas Supplement to Good News and desires that they will accept it as the expression of her confined love and goodwill toward them.
GIVE YOUR SERVANTS LIVING BREAD.
All kinds of people work for you; just see what different countries do.
Oh! think when you are drinking tea, a Chinese man grew this for me.
And when the rice is given to you, think of dark India where it grew.
'Tis their life, as you might say, of those who work from day to day;
Who toil and slave in heat of sun, and give to you what they have won.
Think of your own countrymen, who grow for you the fruit and grain.
How day by day they work and toil, to get a living from the soil.
And in the time of drought and heat, when no rain comes to save the wheat;
And all their labor for the year with heat of sun doth disappear;
The crops that promised such a yield all withered up in every field.
Now see the heartache of each one who thus have seen their work undone.
Then turn away to other lands and see them working in their bands.
See the people, black and brown, who toil from dawn till sun goes down;
Bearing heat and cold and rain; but, then, you never see their pain.
Oh! think how, when their work is done, and they go home at set of sun;
Tis but a hut that's cold and bare—no comforts of a home are there;
But hungry children cry for bread, some are dying and some are dead.
Why is it thus that they should die, and none to heed their bitter cry?
They're going to a Christless grave, with none to rescue, none to save.
Oh! you who have the living bread, give it to them ere all are dead.
—Elsie Ridgway.
WOOD SUPPLIED.
-
Told by Miss Emma Carter, Missionary in India.
-
It was famine time. Water there was in abundance, and wheat to be ground into flour, but there was no wood for the fire to cook it with. One cannot live long on raw flour. Moreover, there was no money—not even one rupee, in the little tin box labelled "general expense." It was time for prayer-asking and faith-taking. My promise was the familiar Philippians 4: 19, never worn out, and available for use as ever. And the angel who brought it laid especial emphasis on the "shall supply."
Suddenly, as I prayed, a man ambled in at our gate and presented himself at the front door. "I have wood to sell," he said; "forty carts of it. My home is back in the hills, over six miles away, and the caste man who ordered it has lain down on his bargain. But I must sell my wood and start back to-day. Do you want it?"
Did we! Those forty carts would meet all our need. They would save lives on the compound, perhaps our own lives. But there was no money to pay, and the man made it clear that he must have his money, so that he might start at once on the return journey. "My God shall supply," I thought again, then—"Yes," I said to him, "you may bring in the carts and empty them at the back of the house."
So the procession began. One cart around, wood weighed and dumped. Two carts—three carts. I watched from the door, and then went again to look at the little tin box. It was still empty. But "My God shall supply." No use to look for foreign mail with
[19] GN vol. 20, no. 12, 1 December 1929
its precious money gilts, for it was not the day for foreign mail. There was no boat from America. Still— "My God shall supply."
Back to the front door. Seventeen, eighteen, nineteen carts. The man had stated clearly his price for the wood and it was a fair one. But it might as well have been ten times as much so far as any paying was concerned. Would God presently shower rupees out of heaven? Or would they be found in His earth? Twenty-seven, twenty-eight carts. "My God shall supply."
Was there any moneyed friend among the Indian Christians? Not one. Would any brother missionary "come across"? Impossible. In the first place, brother missionaries were far away, and had they been there, they would have had nothing to come across with. Thirty-eight, thirty-nine carts. And the little tin box as empty as ever.
Never shall I forget how that fortieth cart looked as the bullock drew it slowly around to the rear. It passed the verandah, and also the little Indian postman who was entering at the front. Strangely enough, he handed me a registered letter. My heart fluttered and skipped beats as I tore open the seal. The money order within was unfolded and He had supplied. The sum named was exactly that asked by the woodman, not one rupee more, and not one less. In a twinkling I signed it, turned, and paid for the wood.
Now for the sequel: Some weeks before, the news of our great famine had filtered through into the far corners of our Alliance work, and hearts were being-stirred to pray, even in Central Africa. White hearts in black bodies. As they prayed, they felt also a burning urge to give. But giving, with them, spelt sacrifice always; real unromantic sacrificing of rice or calico apparel. Never mind, they would sacrifice and do it with joy. The missionary there sold the things they gave, and quite a little sum was gathered in. Slowly .the letter started, through the jungle, down the mighty Congo, on to the sea, around the cape of Storms, up the Indian Ocean, into a Bombay bank to be exchanged into Indir.n money, then on to Central India. And it arrived, as you see, on the very day, at the very moment, when it was needed. "My God shall supply all your need."
—"Peniel Herald."
Bro. Plymire, on the Tibetan Border, writes: "Since our last letter it is estimated that some twenty thousand hungry and starving people have come to Tangar from other sections, hoping to be kept alive. From moram,';' until night the cry of these poor, hungry people is ringing in our ears. At this moment (June 11th) a lot of hungry children are at our door crying for food and clothes. Many have not sufficient to even half cover their bodies. They sleep out during the night, and our nights are by no means warm. Many families have been separated, and the little children have to look out for themselves or die. These cries are so terrible they are very hard on nerves, yet we have to hear them night and day and can help but very few. Since February we have been dressing the most awful wounds without any rest. It resulted in my having to go to bed, and Mrs. Plymire has been dressing wounds for some days, as I cannot get about. This nervous strain is terribly hard on us both. It is just more than we can bear. We should have help here without delay, a married couple to help in the work. Then we should have several thousand dollars to get grain to keep these people from starving, but we have not got it. The strain is so terrible you cannot possibly conceive of what it means to us to be here.
THE GOOD NEWS.
-
A brother, unknown to us, writes from London under date 27/9/29:—
'The magazine is always very welcome. Each number is very carefully used. First I read it through myself, then it goes to a friend, then I read portions of it to a friend who is partially blind.
"After this, suitable portions of its contents are read during the winter months to a little gathering of the Lord's people who assemble on Friday evenings for Bible Study. Finally, the copy goes either to the Public Library—a large institution in the neighborhood —or to the reading room of a nursing sisters' home, attached to a large hospital.
"I have good reasons for thinking that the contents of the magazine are read by quite a number of people in the local library, and we can never know what good this does. Friends tell me—and I entirely agree—that 'Good News' always has very sound reading concerning Pentecost, and that its contents are uniformly well selected. I trust God will continue to bless all your efforts for Him."
Beloved reader! What are you doing with your "Good News"? Is there not a local library to which you could send your copy when read? If you are already passing yours on in some special direction send us the address of the nearest library and we will post direct to them. Some assemblies have, in the past, ordered from 50 to 400 copies monthly, but have remitted only the merest fraction of their cost, and we have heard of unsold copies lying about and being used as kneeling pads! And this was going on whilst we were earnestly longing to be able to forward more free copies to untouched country districts and to foreign missionaries, and while we were struggling to meet the regularly recurring expenses of printing "Good News" and free tracts' But God sees them all; and there is a day of reckoning coming when we shall each give an account of all that we have said and done; and those who have hindered, instead of helping, to send forth this "meat in clue season" will receive their just recompense of reward.
