Maranatha Mission

By W. S. HYATT

W. S. HYATT

SABBATH, May 14, was a good day for us here. After Sabbath-school we had a discourse on baptism and its importance, and then all went to a pool of water near by, where four of our young people were baptized. These baptisms are the result of the faithful labors of Brother and Sister F. B. Armitage. They sowed the seed, and we reaped the harvest. Four others requested baptism, but it was thought best to postpone it for a short time.

The new buildings that Elder Armitage erected have been completed, and are now occupied. We are thankful that we have two good, substantial dormitories for our students, besides a commodious dining-room and kitchen.

At present our time is occupied gathering the crops, building fences, etc., and the mission workers are busy with their varied duties. All are happy and cheerful and enjoy their work.

The native work in Grahamstown is slowly taking root, and a number are now keeping the Sabbath. I have assisted in the work all I could, having spent but two Sabbaths at the mission since the camp-meeting. We are confident that the message will triumph gloriously erelong, and we hope that Kafirland will have many representatives among the one hundred forty-four thousand.
