Earlier text: The New Syllabus of Pius XIndia Mountain Mission Home.
We again place before our readers a list of donors to the Mountain Mission Home in India. Two illustrations of this Homehave already been given. It is now occupied, tho not dedicated. The time set for its dedication is October 1. Before that time we trust there will be enough received by the SIGNS OF THE TIMES to lift the last thousand dollars’ debt on the Home. Gladwill the workers be?—Surely, they will. And will not the donors be glad also?—Truly, they wil. Both wil be blessed, giver and receiver. There are already fruits from the mission. In the little while our workers have been there souls have been born into the Master's kingdom. Let all those who desire to give, give quickly. If there is a little more than is needed, India will not suffer, nor will the extra amount make our workers feel extravagant. Here is the list: Reportedd to July 31, $428.32 Clinton (Mont.), S.

Longacre, Erie, Pa., tells of a live interest in that city, a number having taken their stand on the commandments. The public press is liberal with their notices of the meetings. BROTHER CLARENCE SANTEE, president of Texas Conference, writes that in the last two months, July and August, one hundred have taken hold of the truth in that State. Eighty were baptized at one camp-meeting. AT Adrian, Mich., Brethren D. P. Wood and S. T. Black have for seven months been regularly distributing the Family Bible Teacher and holding Bible-readings. Twelve adults have decided to obey God and keep His commandments as a result of their labors. BROTHER C. H. PARKER, writing from the Fiji Islands, says: "Not long ago over one hundred adults took their stand for the truth, also a well-educated teacher. In the quarter ending March 31, thirty-two were baptized. Additions are constantly being made to our numbers." THE opportunity will come
If I but stand
With shield of faith upreared before
And sword in hand. If I but follow in the path
My Saviour shows,
I fear no ill, for safe am I,
The way He knows. Wanted for Missionary Work.
