THE MASTER BIDS THEE.
Go where the needs are great, -and sow;
Scatter the seed God bids thee bear.
'Tis• not that thou must •see and know
How great a yield He'll garner there,
Or how that seed can grow
In soil so long unfructified —
Thy mission is to sow.
The soil is His, and His the seed,
The early and the latter rain. Then speed
Thee to that field — the field in need.
They've waited long in woe;
So long in need, so low,. denied,
Though Christ so long, so long, has bid thee go.
Sow where the needs are great; the seed
Is in the keeping of thy God.
Thy very. life may fill some need
If it but show His love abroad,
Or soothe some aching heart,
Long tossed on life's uncharted sea,
Or heal some biting smart —
Then art thou His, thy life His seed,
And He will sow it where the need
Is greatest. Yield, and let him lead
To field beyond the sea,
To Afric, Ind, or far Cathay —
To whatsoever land has need of thee.
And when the harvest comes, that field
Where hard the labor was and long
May cause thee wonder by its yield
Of precious fruit, and stir to song
Of gladness all thy soul.
Then fret thou not — in God's own time
The earnest or the whole
Shall rise where thou didst sow thy seed.
Then hie thee thither with all speed
To needy lands where'er He lead;
And there, in His control,
Or here, if that thy mission be,
Sow and be sown, till God shall reap the whole. -
C. M. Snow.
PREFACE.
At the close of 1914, so far as reports in hand indicated, this work
was organized in the 'manner shown by • the following pages. These
directories give the boundaries comprising the territorial lines of each
conference and mission, as well as the different classes of laborers con-
nected therewith. The organization of this work as reported to the
time allowed to prepare this report, is arranged as follows: —
Division Conferences (cid:9) 2
Division Mission (cid:9) 1
Union Conferences (cid:9) 26
Union Missions (cid:9) 2
Conferences (cid:9) 128
Mission fields (cid:9) 116
Educational Institutions (cid:9) 70
Publishing houses and branches (cid:9) 37
Periodicals (cid:9) 130
Languages in which publications are issued (cid:9) 87
Sanitariums (cid:9) 33
Treatment Rooms (cid:9) 9
Food Factories and Cafes (cid:9) 22
In addition to the features usually presented in this series, the
present issue gives a summary, prepared especially for this publication
by those in charge of the work in each division or union conference, in
which is set fOrth in concise form a record of the work accomplished
during the past year, throughout the entire field. In this survey there
is shown the standing attained in each field, the plans and policies being
pursued for the development of the work, as well as the results realized.
This review indicates that we have work in progress over a wide range
of territory,— from Vladivostock to Patagonia, from Madagascar via
Tanganyika, Titicaca, cannibal Solomon Islands, to West China, North
India, and on to Bagdad, Tiflis, and Omsk. In all these places we have
companies of believers associated together for the extension of this
cause. That this work is becoming more and more cosmopolitan is
evidenced by references made herein to such languages and peoples as
Cebuan, Panayan, Tagalog, Chikwaya, Kisubuma, Chasu, Suaheli, Hindi,
Timnis, Kaffirs, Rarotongan, Icelandic, Battak, Karen, and Arabic. Pub-
lications are now issued in eighty-seven languages, an increase of twelve
during the year, and over twenty other languages are used orally in
the proclamation of this message. This fact alone indicates great ac-
tivity and earnestness on the part of those laboring in these various
fields.
Directories will be found on the following pages: —
