WE are ordering more than one thousand copies of the Ingathering Signs. This year we shall have them all sent to Java, and then I shall bring them to Singapore when I return from Java, as I shall probably be there about the time they come. I think this will make us more sure of receiving them. [Last year their supplies did not reach them.] We are also to have a special number of the Chinese Signs for the Ingathering work, and shall use many of them, I suppose. I trust that God will bless in this work, and that we shall be able to raise a large sum of money in this effort.
Good interests are springing up in various parts of the field, and there are many more calls than we can possibly answer. I am glad to report that some are taking their stand for the truth, and the future seems encouraging. In all the missions there are converts accepting the message, and this is the joy of our workers. We shall baptize several here soon.
In Borneo we found several families near our mission at Jesselton who are calling for our message. Six families have decided that they want to be Seventh-day Adventists, and we have arranged to go to teach them the truth. Many others in that place are dissatisfied with their present teachings, and we believe that there will be a strong work done there.
One of our colporteurs went to Sarawak some time ago, and two men accepted the truth while he was there. Since then I have had letters from these two men, and they are begging us to send them help. In one letter they stated that there were about forty persons who wish to unite with us. The same worker has just returned from Medan, Sumatra, and reports fifteen or twenty in one place who wish to unite with us. In another city near by several others are calling for the truth. In a third place a young man has accepted the message, and is coming toour school to prepare for the work. I could mention other interesting experiences, but space forbids. Our field seems ready for the truth, and I trust that we shall soon have a number of recruits from home.
