Opening the Work in Kuala Lumpur

From Elder R. P. Montgomery, who several months ago, in company with his wife, went from the Foreign Mission Seminary to the Malay States, comes, under date of September 17, the following word: “The Lord has been very good to us since we came to this field. Our health is good thus far. We remained at Singapore until two weeks ago, when we came here to open up the work. Kuala Lumpur is the capital of the Federated Malay States. The population is about sixty thousand, composed mostly of Chinese and Tamils. There are a number of Europeans and Eurasians here also. Although we have been here but two weeks, we are giving Bible readings to eight Tamil men, and visiting from house to house, trying to awaken an interest. This is a very wicked place, but the prospects are encouraging. We thank the Lord that we have a part in his work.”

The Roman Catholic Program

By Editor

It is not often that we call attention to editorial articles. We feel, however, that the one on page 7, entitled “The Roman Catholic Program,” should have more than a casual reading. We are entering upon perilous times in this world's history, and the situation with which the article deals must be taken into account by every lover of truth. In this connection, and in answering the questions propounded by the writer, it would be well for every reader of this paper to study the Protestant Magazine. The next issue will have matter of a truly startling character to every student of these thrilling and eventful days.

The Service of the “Review”

By D. W. Reavis

THE REVIEW, according to some of our correspondents, is “a keeper of the flock,” “a good shepherd,” “the most excellent minister,” etc. Its value to its readers can not be consistently compared with its subscription price. The following voluntary statement made by a worker when sending in his renewal, reveals the very practical help the REVIEW brings to our people:—

“During a recent missionary trip I found believers who had not seen an Adventist for four years, nor heard one of our ministers preach for ten years; yet they were all having a good experience, and were keeping in close touch with the message for the last days. They had the REVIEW. That was the secret.”

The REVIEW is the international medium of communication between our workers in the field throughout all the world and the members in their homes. It is the voice of the denomination giving the great advent message. It unifies and cements the believers, bringing good cheer from the messengers in the field, and faithfully fulfills its mission as the denominational church paper. As the work grows and enlarges, the importance of the REVIEW increases. It ought by all means to be in the home of every believer in the world. Let all our readers interest themselves in securing the subscription of those among them whom they know to be without it.
