| Description | Dated 3 July. Decision of CMS not to send German missionaries to West Africa or the West Indies has considerably embarrassed the Basel Committee as their aim has been expressly to further CMS work; General Macaulay, CMS Vice President, was present at the Basel annual meeting when nine students were commissioned, three for work in Armenia and Persia with the Evangelical Society and six under CMS for work in the East Indies and Mediterranean coast; the six are Gobat, Kugler, Muller, Kruse, Lieder and Fletnitzer; comments in detail on their abilities. |
