Cast thy bread upon the waters: /or thou shalt find it after many days.

--Ecclesiastes 11:1

P: From the 200 Christians in the West African settlement of Bolahun, Liberia to Episcopal Bishop Wallace E. Conkling of Chicago went a check for $22.25. The congregation of Bolahun sent this gift (the proceeds of their 1948 Easter collection) to further the work of Chicago's Negro Episcopal congregations.

P: From China, from an anonymous Chinese Christian businessman, came a gift of $1,000,000 to the Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions. This, the largest cash donation ever received by the board from a living donor, was to be used to build a settlement for retired Presbyterian missionaries. The gift, said its modest donor, was "in gratitude to God for my Christian education and life, and in appreciation of the service your missionaries have given China."
