Article titled "News from the Missionaries" published in Home and Foreign Journal, August 1860

News from the Missionaries We have no intelligence of recent date from either Shanghai, Canton, or Liberia. When heard from, the missionaries were well, and felt encouraged. The last letters from Canton reported three baptisms, from Liberia seven or eight. The rebels were approaching Shanghai, and created some apprehensions. As will be seen by the letters in this Journal, our brethren at Awyaw and Ijaye are surrounded by war. They do not feel much apprehension as to their personal safety; but their situation is precarious and distressing. We have reason to thank God that their missionary labors are uninterrupted, and that at both places tokens of the Divine blessing are received. One at each place has been baptized. Brother Harden reports the baptism of one at Lagos, and circumstances more encouraging than heretofore. Sister Harden’s school is prospering. She appeals for help to enable her to take some of the pupils into her family. Who will give it? P. HOME AND FOREIGN JOURNAL August 1 860 p.7
