Show 115 work possible: and may we all, working together to the utmost of our ability and relying upon Him Who alone can "give the increase," go on to broaden out his work until hundreds and thousand in this needy place know by personal appropriation the love of God and of His Son, Jesus Christ! We can not but continue with great urgency our requests for CONCLUSION larger appropriations to meet the present opportunities, and with great fervency our prayers that the stewards of God's wealth in our homeland will so rally to the support of the Board's work that the increased appropriations will he forthcoming. We have made it clear that our opportunities far outrun our means. Our policy for immediate enlargement is merely to occupy the larger cities of the field, and from them seek to influence and shepherd the smaller centers round about. There are still a number of cities of eight to twenty thousand inhabitants which have no work at all. We should enter such centers with men of training as well as consecration, who will be able to command respect from the educated and thoughtful classes. We must provide quarters for chapel use at strategic points in these cities, that the public may hear the spoken message. An urgent need not touched upon above is that fcr a dispensary at our central station under a native physician. We do not ask for a foreign doctor or hospital plant, because of the Presbyterian medical work across the city from us. But our Presbyterian friends would be glad to see a dispensary work opened here that would be a help to their work, and a great boon to ours. Our physician could have regular days at Dr. Lewis' hospital and could take all of the most serious cases there. We have buildings that we expect soon to be available for this purpose. We also have our eye on a native doctor that we want. We are assured by physicians in charge of hospitals that such a dispensary, if well conducted, is almost sure to become fully selfsupporting within three or four years. So we are looking for a group of friends who will put this project on its feet. God is sufficient for these things, if His people will be sufficiently loyal.
