British Columbia

By A. O. BURRILL.

VANCOUVER.—This city has more than one hundred thousand inhabitants, and is the leading Canadian seaport on the Pacific. Elder Luther Warren and some twenty others, assisted by local helpers, have been holding meetings in the large halls of the city for the past four weeks. Yesterday, June 14, we had our second Sabbath meeting for the interested ones. Twenty-five were present who had begun the observance of the Sabbath since the meetings opened. Others in the city were resting upon that day for the first or second time.

Fully one thousand have been out on some Sundays to listen to the word spoken. A deep interest has been awakened, and we are confidently looking for many more to take their stand for the message which will fit them for translation. This seems like the “times of refreshing” spoken of in the Word.

The press has been quite liberal with us, all four of the city dailies having had quite full reports of the meetings. Doubtless the testing time is right here, for those who attend are going to the ministers for explanations for Sunday-keeping. The work seems only just begun, and, if well developed, many more will accept of the message. For this we all are praying and working. A. O. BURRILL.
