The Madison School has been instructed to train self-supporting missionaries for foreign fields. It is remarkable how rapidly the missionaries in foreign fields are coming to see the need of self-support in those fields. From India, China, Korea, Japan, South America, and Africa comes the testimony that the future successful missionary must himself be self-supporting and must teach his converts to earn their living.

The old method of supporting missionaries by a salary from America is being superseded by the saner method of self-support. God is instructing Seventh-day Adventists to adopt this plan. We ought not to cling to the old method and let other denominations outrun us in this matter of reform.
