ERFURT, GERMANY. To ALBERT P. MILLER, ADA ROBERTS MILLER, ANDREW E. JACKSON, and ELLA HILDRIDGE JACKSON, Missionaries for Africa: _Dear Brothers and Sisters_: The Jubilee Singers send greeting. Could we give you our greeting in person, it would be more satisfactory, as we can but feebly convey to you, in writing, how our hearts have gone out to you in love and sympathy, and up to God in thankfulness, since the glad tidings reached us of your having consecrated your lives and talents to mission work among our brethren in Africa. We have prayed and labored long for this day, and now, thank God, our prayers are being answered. We realize in how large a degree our success has been attributable to the faithful prayers of you and your fellow-students, sent up daily in our behalf from Fisk University; and let us assure you that while you are doing battle for the Master, by helping to lift the dark pall of barbarism and superstition which enshrouds our kinsmen, you, in like manner, will be sustained by the prayers of your fellow students, and warm, earnest Christian hearts, not only in our own native land, but in Great Britain, Holland and Germany. They will follow your footsteps, faithfully and prayerfully, watching for the fruits which ye shall reap, in due season, if ye faint not, and rejoicing with you in the extension of Christ’s kingdom. You are our first band of missionaries at the outpost of the American Missionary Association in the land of our forefathers. May the light of God so shine in your hearts that its reflected rays shall be a balm to those who may come to you, to be healed and taught of God. May He give you strength to thrust in the “sharpened sickle” when the fields are ripe for the harvest, and the laborers so few. With the love and best wishes of the Jubilee Singers. (Signed) GEORGIA M. GORDON, F. J. LOUDIN, B. W. THOMAS. _Committee_. * * * * * AFRICA. * * * * * Arrival of the New Missionaries. REV. FLOYD SNELSON. I received the letters, telling of the new missionaries on the way to our mission, with great joy. I left home late last Thursday afternoon for this place to meet them. We came on very well until Friday night about ten o’clock, at which time we were caught in quite a storm, and had to anchor. As I had not been here since our first arrival, there were many things to look after. Just as I was finishing up last night, the steamer came in, bringing them. I got out to them about 8.30 P.M., and spent nearly an hour with them. I am very favorably impressed with the first view of my new co-workers, and hope now to be able to carry on the work to greater success and with more ease.
