The Brethren foreign mission board meeting of 1917, will long be remembered as an important meeting in the history of foreign missions. Two decisions which were reached at this meeting ushered in a new era in the Brethren foreign-mission program. The first was the acceptance of North Central Africa as a mission field for the church and the approval of a pioneer party of four to open the first testimony in Oubangui-Chari. The other was to commence immediately the publication of a magazine which would be devoted exclusively to a presentation of the Brethren foreign-mission program of the church. The carrying out of the first decision is the subject of these memorial lectures on the history of the Africa Mission. The second decision was implemented by the appearance of the Brethren Missionary in October 1917, under the editorship of Louis S. Bauman. This magazine began as a quarterly but was later stepped up to a monthly publication. It continued through seventeen years as the official organ of the foreign missionary arm of the Brethren church.
