Alberta, Canada

By C. A. Hansen

CALGARY.—Mrs. Hansen and I have labored here for the past few months, and find it a very interesting place in which to work. Calgary feels the effects of the war more than most of the country. Much of the regular business is suspended, and men are urged to take up arms. Every day the very flower of the young men may be seen marching in large companies, in the streets, preparing for the ordeal across the sea.

It is surprising how willing these men are to give their very lives for the country, and their great sacrifices in earthly goods is surely an example for many who are engaged in the warfare against Satan and his host.

Our work has made some progress, for which we are thankful. Last Sunday we baptized seven adults, and there are others who are preparing for baptism.

We have found the people anxious to read our books, and we have placed quite a number of volumes in the homes of interested ones. The city newspapers have also shown their willingness to aid our cause by publishing the sermons delivered Sunday evenings.

We feel that a great work needs to be done for Calgary, and it should be done as soon as possible. We also are greatly in need of a church building, which we trust may soon be provided. We ask an interest in the prayers of God's people for the work in this important commercial center of western Canada.
