South Africa

By W. S. HYATT

THIRTEEN years ago I joined the little band of loyal believers in this field to assist in giving the third angel’s message to the many nations and tongues represented in South Africa. The first few years I labored for the European races, but later my time was divided between them and the natives of the country. During the last three years, I have labored almost exclusively for the natives, but at our last conference the brethren called me again to take up work in the Cape Conference, where I began my work in this country. With reluctance I did so, but after spending several months in church work, I can say that I am happy in the change. The place to which our Heavenly Father calls us is always best for us. The blessed hope that called me out of the world when but a boy, shines brighter and brighter, and gives courage and confidence in the final triumph of the cause we love. This is no time to falter and look backward. Every soldier should now buckle on the armor anew and press forward. The race is almost run; and, if true to God and his cause, the faithful will soon win the prize. Brethren and sisters, fellow laborers, when you come from all lands bringing your sheaves, I want to meet you and to be able to present some fruit to King Jesus from this dark land. W. S. HYATT.
