India

By W. W. MILLER

CALCUTTA.—We arrived in Calcutta Christmas day, full of courage and hope. We were met by kind friends, who took us to their home and made us comfortable after our long journey. We were glad to greet Elder Votaw and wife. Aside from him, all were strangers to me. But I soon became acquainted, as we are all brethren wherever we meet. We were glad to find Elder Shaw better than we expected. He continued to improve, and gained several pounds before leaving to attend the General Conference. Our prayers followed him that he and his wife and Sister Della Coats might have a safe journey, and that he might have strength and wisdom to present India's needs, for they are many.

history

I am glad to tell you that there is much beauty here in the way of trees, plants, and flowers, which are so fragrant, and bloom almost all the year round. Of course the customs of the people are very different from what we see were accustomed to in the States; and as they are not changed very much by Europeans who come here, we have just settled down to be content with whatsoever state we are in. The weather has been quite cool ever since we came, so at this writing we are not able to say much about either heat or rain. However, we already know how hard it can rain and thunder. I never had heard such thunder in all my life.

It made my heart glad to receive a letter from a sister in Cincinnati, Ohio, saying that the children had raised over six dollars for India. One week later a letter came from Massachusetts, telling how the children there had sent over ten dollars to this field. Two more donations came from Illinois. And besides these, a preaching tent, free of charge, was sent from the Healdsburg College to Elder H. Armstrong, of Ceylon. At our general meeting over five hundred rupees was raised for the tent, and this will be applied toward fitting it up, so we shall be able to start our work free from encumbrance.

For all this we feel very grateful to the Lord, and to those who have manifested such an interest in the work here. Elder Armstrong will be assisted in the tent effort by Elder G. K. Owen and Brother H. B. Meyers. They are all on the ground, and the work of getting the tent ready has begun. We can hardly wait to hear of their first meeting, as it is a new experience in this field. I am confident that the Lord will use this effort to his glory and the good of the people.

The Lord is waking up the people in this country in regard to the true Sabbath. Two Bengali delegates who have recently heard of the Sabbath, came to see me about going to East Bengal to plant the standard of truth in thirty-five villages, which have a population of over eight thousand. These two men teach in mission schools. The church to which they belong is going over toward Rome, having already introduced many Catholic rites, among which are prayers for the dead, the confessional box, and prayers to the Virgin Mary. They were so much in earnest that they asked me to call a meeting of the Board, and see what could be done. Many in these villages have refused to accept the new doctrines, and now is the time to work for them. These men told me they were sure if they came out and took their stand for the Sabbath, many would follow their example. They also said that they knew some of them would be beaten for so doing, but comforted themselves that they would win in the end. And so they will.

Now what are we to do? There was not a soul to go back with these men to instruct them in the truth. All we could do was to give them some of our books and tracts, and let them go with the promise that we would do all we could for them in the future. You can readily see that the calls are coming from every quarter. But where are the laborers to send? One almost feels like hiding, and not listening to these urgent calls, for it is so embarrassing to confess that we are unable to answer them.

For several days these men visited me every day. I knew from the beginning we were unable to do much for them, as calls of a similar nature come every few days, and we are unable to supply them. Before they left, I knew they would ask the vital question which would call for a definite answer. It came in these words: “We must return to our village, and what shall we tell those who sent us here? What will you do for us, and how soon can you send us help?” Would you have liked to be in my position—a man claiming to have the last warning that is to go to the world, a warning to be given in this generation to every nation, and have to answer, “I will see later what I can do”? What else could I say? They left, asking us to pray for them. This is a sample of what we have to meet in these fields.

May God raise up faithful workers both here and at home, to fill these places, for the calls will increase as the end draws near. I pray that these few lines may move some to think seriously over these things, and decide sooner or later to respond.

Trinidad

By L. E. WELLMAN.

SAN FERNANDO.—We are progressing nicely on the church building here in San Fernando, and have already held two services in it. We laid the corner-stone on April 9, and finished the roof just one month later. A little over twenty-five dollars was received at the corner-stone laying.

Two new ones have begun the observance of the Sabbath this month, in the face of much opposition, and are rejoicing in the truth. A class of six is now studying for baptism.

All the churches are growing in this16 part of the island, and we believe brighter days are in store for all our people.

I am glad to report that at present I am feeling much better than for some time past. Though working very hard, I have been gaining in flesh.

We know that God is leading in his work here. We are willing to trust him.

Africa

By C. H. Hayton

KENILWORTH.—The financial crisis through which we are passing in Cape Colony, is severe. Since the war closed, there has been much distress, and money is very scarce. Naturally, our school has suffered, also. At the present writing, it being only the end of the first quarter of the new year, we find ourselves almost unable to pay the running expenses. But still we believe the Lord is guiding his work in Africa, and will not see the school become involved. Our membership at the present time is eighty. We have a good normal training course, and many of our young people are anxious to become teachers in the field. The message is onward; souls are coming into the truth.

Central America

By H. C. Goodrich

LA CEIBA, SPANISH HONDURAS.—After a very pleasant voyage of two days from Belize, I came to this place. Brother Bellinger is with me, as he wished to see the land on this coast. But he is suffering with quite a severe attack of sciatic rheumatism, and will return to the States. I regret this very much. When I think of Brother Holmden, and Brother Corwin, and now Brother Bellinger, all driven from this field by sickness, it seems a little discouraging. Still I believe we shall see help from some source soon.

I find Mr. and Mrs. Allen quite well. Mr. Allen has sold a great many books along this coast. One of these books fell into the hands of a young man living at Porvenir, who was a gambler, and had lost quite a competency in that way. Last January he borrowed "Bible Readings." Reading it, he was convinced of the sinfulness of his life, and gave his heart to the Lord, and accepted the Sabbath, keeping it three weeks before he knew there were any other Sabbath-keepers near. And this was not all. He had a partner in the tailor business—a Spaniard, who can not speak English. He talked the truth to him till he and his wife have also accepted the Sabbath. The Spaniard used rum freely, and also tobacco. The brother told him that he must give up both. He promised to give up the rum, but said he could never give up tobacco. I sold him a Spanish Bible, then pointed to 2 Cor. 7:1. He read it, and after a moment's pause, said, "I will use no more tobacco." And he has not.

I stayed in Porvenir ten days. A well-to-do man opened his house for meetings, and I spoke to the very few who came, sold "History of the Sabbath" to the house owner, and I hope that he and his wife will obey soon. Coming back to Ceiba, I went with Mr. Allen to visit one of his interested ones. This man acknowledged the binding obligation of the Sabbath, but said, "Give me a little time." When we called his attention to the fact that this was the last message, and that time was short, he said, "I will be with you next Sabbath."

We praise the Lord for all these indications that the time has come for him to work mightily for his truth, and for us also, that we be ready for every opportunity.

Mr. Allen is slowly getting a hold in this place. He received the co-operation of several citizens, and they have bought lumber and made desks, rented a house, and have a school of nineteen students, with the promise of more. A young lady of Belize is teaching the school, and it is patronized by the government officers and the best people of the town. Several interested ones are studying, and we are but just beginning in Spanish Honduras. It seems to me there are many evidences that the Lord is going before us in the work for the Spanish people. I am praying that you may see your way clear to send more workers. We want a man who can learn the Spanish language, or better yet, one who has learned it. One of our greatest needs is a traveling colporteur to sell our literature and Bibles in the interior. That would require a horse, and would mean some extra expense, but I believe it would pay well. If we could print tracts and small books here, we would be in a much better condition to reach the people. And we would need men and women to carry them, as much as a press to print them.

Cuba

By L. E. Moore

HAVANA.—Brother Clark’s family are the only ones keeping the Sabbath at Ceballos, but at La Gloria we have seven, and they are very much in need of help. They all need instruction on points of our faith. Only one of the number belongs to our little church here in Cuba, and he subject to baptism. At that place there are about five hundred American people, the largest colony in the island. I feel very much interested in them, and hope that they will receive some help soon.

history

Bahia Honda has been calling for help ever since we have been here. There are five of our people there at the present time, but they are not able to speak the language. Brother Powery is calling for help on the isle of Pines. He is doing faithful work.

In a short time we hope to be able to support a worker, without calling for outside help. This will be possible if all our people come here to live who are planning to do so.

Portugal

By C. E. RENTFRO.

CARCAVELLOS.—This is a small villa of about one hundred people, part of whom are English and part Portuguese, and is about twelve miles west from Lisbon, toward the ocean. We can see some small mountains about six miles away. For exercise, while studying the language, I run down to the beach, and on the way pass through the grounds of an English submarine cable station. We can see all the ships entering the river Tagus to the harbor of Lisbon.

A week ago we organized a Sunday-school for the benefit of the English children here, having been requested to do so. This is something new for them, although they have preaching services twice a month by English ministers from the city.

I am translating some original articles into Portuguese, for publication in our paper published in Brazil. Of course, my teacher assists in correcting. I wish some kind friend would send us clean, unwrinkled copies of the Signs, Watchman, Instructor, and Our Little Friend, for distribution among our English friends. Remember our work in your prayers. C. E. RENTFRO.

Hayti

By Henry Williams

CAPE HAYTIEN.—How mysteriously God works! Twenty years ago we came to this town from Kingston, Jamaica, our native land. At that time there was one Protestant church here; we were Roman Catholics. Two years later, the Sabbath truth came to us, and immediately we accepted it, and lived it alone, until two years ago, when a sister and her four children united with us. This cheered us to continue with strong faith in our singular belief, and to maintain our position as sentinels in this distant outpost, until again our hearts were made glad through another victory gained in favor of the truth, in the conversion of another brother about two months ago. This man is the founder and professor of a high school. He is intensely zealous for the proclamation of the message everywhere in his country, that his fellow Haytians may be enlightened and understand the serious nature of the everlasting gospel which is due to Hayti as a nation. He was so urged by his zeal to see his people converted from Romanism, that he invited the public, by advertisement, to lectures on Bible subjects, held every Sabbath evening at seven o'clock. He had in his audience at one time, ministers, doctors, lawyers, magistrates, and professors of schools.

He began with the two covenants, and now has come to the mark of the beast. His conversion to the Sabbath has caused a great stir, especially among the Protestant churches, because he was a prominent, active member in the Wesleyan body. He was the leader of a society of young men that did open-air preaching. The Wesleyan pastor took away his son from his school, saying, "He is gone to become a Jew," although the boy was getting a salary as an advanced scholar. Every Sabbath morning this brother conducts a Bible reading with his boarding pupils, and later meets with us for worship, with such students as care to come with him.

As a result of Bible instruction, one of his teachers, a Baptist, has accepted the Sabbath, and resigned his membership with the church, and one of the pupils has also accepted the Sabbath.

He sends his cook away on Friday evening, to stay until Sunday morning. He is not satisfied to work in town only; he has made some evangelical visits, with some of his students, about twenty-four miles into the interior, to a village called La Grande Reviere, where there is a Baptist church. This building is said to be a fine one, seventy-five by thirty-five feet, the largest Protestant house of worship in this northern part of the island. The result of these visits is that the preacher and the majority of a membership of ninety accepted the Sabbath, and told Brother Isaac that as17 soon as Elder Bourdeau comes, the church will be given over to become a Seventh-day Adventist church. They are anxious for a minister to come to accomplish this, and they are free to do so, for it is an independent church.

Brother Isaac, a sister and her daughter, and perhaps three others, are awaiting baptism on the arrival of the pastor. I am sure that your hearts yearn to develop the work which has been begun here. I now leave Hayti's spiritual future with you.

Let me ask some good brethren and sisters to donate thirty numbers of the French Signs, of the twice-a-month issue, to come for a year, and also the regular weekly issue of the English Signs, as I have nothing with which to work.

Wausau (Wis.) Camp-Meeting

By Wm. Covert.

The camp-meeting was held at Wausau, Wis., according to appointment, June 9-19. There were probably three hundred and fifty persons encamped on the ground. The attendance from the city was fairly good.

The majority of the Wisconsin laborers were present, and in addition to these, Elders J. N. Anderson, W. S. Hyatt, N. W. Kauble, and F. C. Gilbert attended the meeting. Not all of these brethren attended the whole time, but some of them were present at every meeting.

There was much rainfall during the time that we encamped upon the ground, but the place was beautiful and well-adapted for the camp-meeting, and our tents were so pitched as to shed the rain, so but little inconvenience was experienced on account of the inclemency of the weather.

The meeting was good from the beginning to the conclusion. It was remarked by almost all who were there, that it was the best camp-meeting that they had ever enjoyed. The Lord greatly blessed the people through the presentation of the truth. Fifteen persons were baptized the last Sabbath of the meeting. As far as the writer knows, every one went away from the meeting filled with courage.

A tent-meeting will be continued in the city, to follow up the interest developed during the time of the camp-meeting. Wm. Covert.

Progress of the Work in Nashville, Tenn

By George Ide Butler

SINCE our return from the General Conference in Washington, God's blessing upon the work in Nashville has seemed most encouraging. Tokens of his love and favor have filled our hearts with courage and comfort.

The matter of purchasing the Baptist church referred to in the recommendations of the General Conference Committee and recently published in the REVIEW, has been fully consummated.

The General Conference generously loaned us one thousand dollars, with which we made the first payment. The church has been deeded, on condition, of course, that the remaining four thousand is paid by the first of October. We can use it for our Sabbath services during the summer. The Baptists have reserved the right to hold meetings in it on Sundays till the first of October. They have been very friendly and kind in all their dealings with us. We feel thankful for this fortunate outcome. We hope our people will at once help us in raising the money to pay for the house. The first money raised is to pay back the one thousand dollars loaned by the General Conference. They are in need of funds, and should have this sum as soon as it can be raised.

Another interesting purchase has been recently made. After trying for a year to find in the vicinity of Nashville a proper site for the Nashville Sanitarium, thirty-three acres of ground has been purchased and paid for, lying a little beyond the termination of one of the street-car lines. The land is high, rolling, and good, and lies close beside a fine grove of trees. It has a nice spring of the purest and best of water. It is a beautiful site for a sanitarium. The Board visited many places that were offered for sale, and none of them were satisfactory; but when they saw this property, they unanimously agreed on the purchase of it. A brother in Kentucky, being interested in sanitarium work, advanced the money, taking a mortgage for security. We all felt it18 was a very desirable locality, and more reasonable in price than any other property offered.

The water from this spring is well known in the city of Nashville. Fifteen hundred dollars' worth of it was put in jugs, and sold in Nashville last year. The writer never tasted of better water. It is clear as crystal. We rejoice at this purchase.

A lot upon which to pitch our large tent has been secured for three months at a very low price. Last year we utterly failed to find a suitable place. Before this reaches the readers, our meetings will be in progress. Everything looks very favorable for a successful meeting. Our courage is excellent. Our hope is in God. We believe he will help us. We ask for the prayers of our people.

West Indies

By D. E. WELLMAN

ST. JOHNS, ANTIGUA.—Our work in Antigua is growing. Our church numbers sixty-four, and others await baptism. We have a good interest at several points on the island, and requests from other places for labor. Although there is much to be done on this island, all my time has not been spent here. I have been in St. Kitts several times, in St. Thomas three times, in Tortola three times, and in St. Johns once. I expect to go to Dominica at once, to confer with Elder Giddings concerning a church for that island. Plan of building, material, and cost must be determined. Being able to work at masonry, carpentry, and painting, comes in good in our work sometimes, where money is scarce, and there are no good workmen.

history

By the last of the month, my wife and I will go to St. Thomas for several months’ labor. We expect to build a church while there. Brother Matthews is here now, and will continue tent labor during my absence. I expect to labor more in the other islands than in Antigua in the future. Antigua has been a very hard field, and it has required a long, hard pull to place the work where it is to-day. Poverty is great, and that, to say nothing of many other hindrances, has caused much perplexity. But the Lord has greatly blessed those who have had courage to follow their convictions, and they have done well, considering conditions.

Our school, started by Mrs. Wellman, and now in charge of Miss Ann Taylor, is making good headway. We have about twenty-five students daily. The school has a good reputation among the people, and is self-supporting at the present time, and we think it will continue to hold its own and improve.

Be assured that all hearts here are with our brethren who are leading out in this work. We are noting every sign that marks a forward movement of this great message, with feelings of greatest satisfaction. May the Lord speed on his work. D. E. WELLMAN.

Camp-Meeting at Portland, Oregon

By F. M. Burg

THIS good camp-meeting is now in the past; and we trust that those who were present at the meeting to share its rich blessings will bear such a report to our brethren and sisters who did not attend as will lead them to appreciate the importance of these appointments which the Lord has made for his people. More of just such meetings are needed now to strengthen the people of God for the great struggle which is just before them.

This meeting was full of light and power. The keynote from the first was the third angel’s message and the power of the Holy Ghost as needed by every one, and which all may have to give this glorious truth to all the world in this generation.

The Lord witnessed to the testimony borne by his servants by letting his Spirit rest upon them and upon the people. The spiritual work increased in intensity and in power till the close of the meeting. The last Sabbath was a day that will not be forgotten by those who shared its blessings. The usual order of the Sabbath services was broken up, and instead of holding the Sabbath-school in the forenoon, it was held at 3 P. M., and the entire camp (except the Germans and Scandinavians, who had separate meetings) came together in the large pavilion at ten o’clock. The word of God was spoken in power by his servant; and it was evident that the time had come for sin-burdened and sin-bound souls to go free. Tears were flowing freely, and a spirit of labor and prayer took possession of ministers and all others who knew God. The culmination of this service, which continued till about 2 P. M., was such as could only cause rejoicing among the angels of heaven. Old and young fell upon the Rock. The shout of victory was heard throughout the camp. Our German and Scandinavian brethren reported just such a good work in their meetings. The work done for the young people was a most striking feature of this good day’s experiences. As a result of this meeting I believe some valuable and strong young men and women will be saved from the world, to find a place in the work for this time.

The Sabbath-school was called at 3 P. M., and after a short recitation period the work was taken up where it was left off in the preceding meeting. Following this hour, after an intermission, a meeting was held for those who had found help in God during the day, and it was good to hear the many testimonies borne by those whose eyes had been opened, and who had obtained a foothold upon the Rock.

On Sunday, the last day of the meeting, thirty-five souls were buried in baptism in the beautiful Willamette River.

The third annual session of the Western Oregon Conference was held in connection with this camp-meeting. These meetings were also characterized by the same good spirit that prevailed in the camp from the time the camp-meeting opened till it closed.

The reports from the several departments of work in the conference showed that in every line progress had been made during the year. The financial statement by the treasurer showed that for the fiscal year closing March 31 the tithe receipts had exceeded those of the previous year by $485.49. And it might be mentioned with interest at this point that there has been an average yearly increase of tithes in western Oregon for the last three years of about one thousand dollars, the amount received during the year just past being $14,868.73. This is about $10.75 per capita for the membership of the conference. The question of tithing received much attention during the conference, and it is hoped that there will be a steady increase in the future till “all the tithes” are brought in.

The offerings for various enterprises at home and abroad, including donations to missions, aggregated $5,578.48, an increase over the preceding year of about one thousand dollars.

There were five churches received into the conference at this session, making now a total of forty-one in the Western Oregon field.

One interesting recommendation passed by the conference, and which is in harmony with the spirit of the third angel’s message, should be embodied with the review of the Western Oregon Conference and camp-meeting, and that was that when the General Conference calls upon us for a laborer to take up work in foreign fields, the conference pay his salary until such time as by arrangement between the General Conference and the Western Oregon Conference the support may be withdrawn. There is a growing interest among our members in the great world-wide work; and this recommendation was enthusiastically discussed and carried by a unanimous vote.

The following officers were elected to serve the conference during the ensuing year: President, F. S. Bunch; Secretary and Field Educational Secretary, G. W. Pettit; Assistant Conference Secretary and Corresponding Educational Secretary, Edith Starbuck; Treasurer, Portland Branch Pacific Press Publishing Company; Executive Committee, F. S. Bunch, T. H. Starbuck, J. M. Cole, D. W. Emmerson, W. R. Simmons, G. W. Pettit, and H. J. Dirksen.

The following laborers were present from outside the local conference, and rendered valuable help in the meetings and in the conference sessions: Elders W. B. White, J. O. Corliss, Daniel Nettleton, H. Shultz, R. D. Quinn, H. J. Schnepper, J. H. Behrens, Profs. M. E. Cady and E. A. Sutherland.

The meeting closed on Sunday evening, June 18, when a stirring sermon was preached by Elder Nettleton on God’s memorials, after which Brother B. C. Tabor was set apart to the work of God by ordination. The Spirit of God was present in power, and witnessed to this solemn service. Then followed the usual “parting meeting,” when, during about forty-five minutes, many testimonies of praise, hope, and courage were offered by old and young.

Thus another annual camp-meeting and conference has come and gone; and we start on another year’s forward move in the work of God. The courage which fills the hearts of God’s people and the workers promises victory for the year that is before us. Cheer, fellow pilgrims! our work will soon be done, and we shall see the King in his beauty. F. M. BURG.

Healdsburg (Cal.) College

By W. E. HOWELL

ANOTHER school year has just closed. Viewed from the standpoint of results achieved, it can not be pronounced other than a successful one. The attendance was not large, but the work done was earnest and thorough. The steady intellectual and spiritual growth of the students throughout the year was very gratifying and encouraging. Young men and young women left school at its close impressed with the thought that life is real, life is earnest, and that if they are to be successful workers for the Lord, they must be sober, be vigilant, lest they be taken unawares by a wily adversary.

The object of Healdsburg College is to build character and to train for service, the former being a logical prerequisite to the latter. Among the lessons in character building that need to be learned by the young, are obedience, loyalty to principle, faithfulness to trust, conscientious thoroughness in the performance of duty, punctuality, regularity, respect toward age and authority, personal refinement, courtesy to all. Without these qualifications no worker for the Lord can be the most highly successful.

Opportunities for the inculcation of these principles during the school year, were many. This was especially so in the students' home. Here it is that the student makes his most rapid and substantial progress. Duties which at first are irksome to him, and which are carelessly done by him, he learns to perform punctually, thoroughly, and in the sweetest of temper. Regulations which19 at first seem to place undue restrictions upon his personal rights and liberties, he comes to regard as necessary and helpful, and gives hearty and cheerful compliance. Privileges which he has been accustomed to enjoy in his own home or community, he finds to be detrimental to the highest realization of his purpose in coming to school, and he therefore very complacently denies himself the same. He learns how to take proper care of his person, his room, and all his belongings, to give attention to the welfare of others; but above all, the student in the Home stores, in his mind, and learns to apply in his practise, personal piety and devotion to principle. In the actual attainment of these very desirable experiences, the past year's record in the Healdsburg College home has been the most satisfying, to those in charge, of eleven years' work in connection with school homes. In many cases, the battles fought and the victories gained in the individual experience of students will not have to be repeated, but will prove to be a strength in the more serious conflicts that life will bring to them.

Many indications of progress along right lines by resident students also, were in evidence. Advancement in spiritual life, application to study, and sobriety of deportment, are some of the attainments noticeable among them, particularly during the latter part of the year.

Speaking more concretely, eleven students were baptized during the last month of the term, eight in the Home and three in the town. Some of these had had serious experiences in matters of discipline earlier in the year, but gained noble and decisive victories. To the Lord be all the praise and honor!

In the training phase of the college life, students and teachers did effective work in the special campaign with the Signs and “Christ's Object Lessons,” in securing signatures to the petition against religious legislation at Washington, in raising funds to purchase a tent for Elder Armstrong in Ceylon, in obtaining money for worthy students (one a Korean brother, who was baptized), in selling charts and books, and in distributing self-denial boxes for the work in the South, in distributing tracts on Sabbath afternoon, and in preparing substantial weekly programs in the Young People's Society.

This work helped to prepare the way for a good canvassing class during the last four weeks of the year. Brother Covell conducted this class with very gratifying results. His work was of that solid, practical character that we have tried to give to all the work of the school throughout the year. It was one of the best efforts that could have been made to bind off the work of the term. Students gave themselves for the first time to the Lord's work, and rejoiced in their preparation for it, some who were recently baptized being among the number. Near the close of the work, Brother Covell required each member of his class to make eight actual canvasses here in Healdsburg. Although the territory was difficult, the students, almost without exception, each sold from one to seven books. A righteous enthusiasm permeated this work. The spirit of service seemed to take possession of the heart, and by far the most pleasing sight of the whole school year was to see at its close these dear young men and women buckle on the canvasser's harness and scatter to all points of the compass to spread this last great message by means of the printed page. May heavenly messengers accompany them on their way.

As we reflect upon the arduous work of the past year, our greatest comfort and most consolation are found in having seen souls born into the kingdom, and in having seen strong, vigorous youth enter God's precious work. This is our reward. This is our compensation. This is our joy and rejoicing forevermore.

Nebraska

By L. Johnson

OMAHA.—We have now two gospel tents in Omaha. In one the truth for this time is presented in the Swedish language, and in the other in the Danish. Sabbath, June 17, was a good day for us. The writer baptized eleven persons, who had found peace with God through Christ. These represented several nationalities: five were Germans, three Danish, two Americans, and one Swede. All were united in Christ, who had accepted them, pardoned their sins, and given them a new heart and a blessed hope. Pray for the work here. L. JOHNSON.
