BROTHER A. R. DUCKWORTH, who gave up a good position, recently left Singapore, with his family, to labor in the Malay States at Kwala Lumpur. In writing to G. F. Jones, he says:—

“We were encouraged very much by the hearty Godspeed given us the night we left. We do not regret the step we have taken.

“The Lord is helping me very much in my labor and study. At first I could hardly face the congregation, but now I have lost that feeling, and am able to talk simply to the people. New faces come and go, but some are quite regular in attendance. The Tamil paper helped in opening the eyes of some who have searched and found the truths contained therein.

“An elderly Tamil man, who has an estate some thirty miles away, heard the message, and was here this morning inquiring about baptism. He has taken his stand, and desires to be baptized before he leaves for Ceylon, his home land, where his family is. These people are always asking if workers are being sent to Ceylon. They are helping to send the message into that island by mailing our literature.

“Two more are keeping the Sabbath. Two others of whom we hear, believe and keep the Sabbath. We thank our Heavenly Father for all his tender mercies. The message is going, and will go, to every nation, kindred, tongue, and people, not by might, nor by power, but by his Spirit.”
