THIS collection is appointed by Synod to be taken by Book in December. The work of the Lord is increasing, and the field of labour is extending beyond our most ardent expectations a few years ago. Rev. Edwin Radasi and Mr. Hlazo are on the Shangani Reserve, opening up preaching Stations and Schools. We hope Mr. James Fraser will be there to take charge in the near future. The original Mission Station at Ingwenya will remain as the centre (at least for a long time to come), but our people will readily realise that the financial burden involved demands of us all to double our efforts in helping to advance the Kingdom of Christ among the natives in Southern Rhodesia. Who can keep from Christ anything when He gave all for us? We appeal to the Youth of our Church to help financially and with their prayers. We need this year two thousand pounds to proceed with the Lord’s work. The contributions are far behind, owing, no doubt, to other claims and demands on our kind-hearted and liberal people. We know you will not fail in your duty. “Let Thy Kingdom come.”—JAMES MACLEOD, Convener.
