DELAY NO LONGER
Delay there must no longer be!
The Master's word to you, to me,
Is, Go out quickly, bid them come,
For at my table still there's room.
The sands of time are running low;
The Master bids us hasten on;
Whole peoples still in darkness are:
The loud cry echo near and far.
Dost say, The work is far too great?
Thou dost forget His might divine;
To us is pledged almighty power;
His providence has struck the hour.
Then go out quickly to all lands;
The call more urgent daily grows;
Delay there must no longer be;
Believe, and His salvation gee.
C. P. Bollman.
PREFACE
IN the following pages will be found complete directories of all the
conference and mission field organizations, as well as institutions, con-
nected with the denomination. In a work growing as rapidly as is this
one, and whose territory is so extensive, frequent changes are inevitable;
so that much of the matter contained herein is subject to revision very
soon after publication. Some changes were reported while the work of
