Redeeming Lost Opportunities

ACCORDING to John R. Mott, in his address before the International Missionary Congress in Edinburgh, the neglect of past opportunities of the Christian church constitutes her great reproach. This doubtless is true as applied to the church as a whole, and to the individual members comprising the church body; but what a blessed thing it is that if the past has been marked by failure, God affords us the privilege of redeeming it, of buying back the opportunity! Regret for past failure will be of no avail unless it shall lead us to faithful improvement of present and future opportunities.

Sabbath Blessings at Bloemfontein

ONE of our literature workers, Mrs. Phoebe Frost, recently visited Bloemfontein, South Africa, expecting to remain there to labor. But word was found at this place to go on to East London. Of the Sabbath privileges enjoyed at Bloemfontein with the few believers, Sister Frost says:—

I enjoyed the Sabbath privileges with the little company. It was the day to celebrate the ordinances, and God came very near to us. Seven nationalities were represented in the twenty-three present, all understanding the Word of God, given by Brother D. H. Groenewald in their own tongue. I could not but think of the day of Pentecost, and long for the time when God's people will be prepared to receive the outpouring of his Spirit.

New Work in North Basutoland

WRITING regarding the new mission station in North Basutoland, Brother Homer C. Olmstead says:—

Since Brother Kalaka and his family arrived, we have been able to open up a little work at this place. At present we are holding one meeting each week in the three nearest large villages. These are attended by an average of thirty-eight, not counting the smallest children. On each Monday and Thursday evening we hold a Bible class for the youth, which is attended by about thirty-three. God is blessing in these efforts, and under his guidance we know that good will be accomplished.

Stereopticon Supplies Available

WORKERS desiring to secure stereopticon supplies would do well to write to the Nashville Book Co., 1713 Cass St., Nashville, Tenn. This company carries an excellent line of stereopticons, with a large number of views illustrating various subjects. On application they will send a neat descriptive catalogue.

Elder Porter Visits Nyassaland

After being in charge of the work in South Africa about two years, Elder R. C. Porter is visiting Nyassaland for the first time. A telegram to the Cape announced his safe arrival at Blantyre, the market-place of our Malamulo Mission. Here he was met by Elder J. C. Rogers, the superintendent. The visit of Elder Porter will be greatly appreciated by the workers in Nyassaland, who have been so long without the counsel of a general laborer.
