Excerpt from The Baptist Missionary Magazine, 1905, Vol. 85 Suitable provision for the education of the youth, and the training of native helpers in connection with mission work in all our fields is a matter of prime importance. Although in some countries government institutions a¿ord facilities for higher education, a serious drawback exists in the fact that their in¿uence, although nominally neutral so far as religion is concerned, is practically anti-christian. With a growing conviction of the importance of maintaining this branch of work under the strongest possible Christian in¿uence has come the necessity for facilities and equipment in keeping with the largeness of the task to which we have set our hand. This impression took definite shape at the anniversary meeting of the Union which was held in Cleveland last May, when a resolution was unanimously adopted by the Board of Managers, to the following e¿ect: That it is the sense of the Board that the Union should enter on a campaign to raise for a permanent general endow ment fund, to be held invested in this country by the Missionary Union, in trust, for its educational work in the foreign field; that this fund should be completed in a period of five years; that a committee of seven be appointed to have in charge the matter of raising the endowment. The announcement that such an effort was about to be made was greeted with joy by our missionaries abroad, especially by those in charge of our educational institutions, who had been plodding patiently on for years under serious limitations. It is no light task, however, which is proposed, and the Executive Committee are considering carefully how the desired end may successfully and wisely be attained. A committee has been appointed to have the matter in charge and a meeting is planned for the near future. We hape that our people as a whole will rally to the work and be ready to respond generously when the call comes. Success in this undertaking will enable us to meet the opportunities God has placed before us in a manner commensurate with our ability, and pleasing to our Lord and Master.
