NANTY GLO AND INDIANA.—Last November we began a series of meetings in one of the public school buildings in Nanty Glo. The meetings were held each evening for nearly four weeks. Since that time I have visited the place as often as consistent with other duties. As a result of the work thus far, we now have a Sabbath-school with a membership of seventeen. Four adults and a number of youth and children have decided to obey God. Others are convinced of the truth, and still others are investigating.

By the blessing of the Lord I have placed thirty-five copies of “Christ’s Object Lessons” in as many homes in Nanty Glo. Also one copy of “Bible Readings,” and many tracts, were disposed of. In going from house to house with our literature, I found many opportunities to talk with the people about the salvation of souls and the truth for this time. The schoolhouse has now been closed against us, and no public place can be secured at present for services. The Sabbath-school will be held in private houses for a time.

February 7 we had the privilege of baptizing one of the students of the Indiana church-school, a young man seventeen years of age. We are thankful

for the blessings received in connection with our school at Indiana.

This month (February) the writer enters upon his thirtieth year of ministerial work in the third angel’s message. Twenty-nine years ago the second Sunday in February his first sermon was preached. During all these years the REVIEW has been almost a constant visitor in our home; to us it is the best of all papers. I am indeed thankful to God for his keeping power during all these years of labor, and for the privilege of still having a place in this precious work; thankful for good health and ability to continue in the work; thankful that while some have dropped out by the way, every point of the message is just as clear and bright as when I first received the message in 1873. May the Lord help us all to be faithful to the end. J. W. WATT.
