The Week of Prayer in Britain

In a personal letter, Brother E. E. Andross, president of the British Union Conference, writes:—

“I spent the latter portion of the week of prayer with the church here at Watford; and I can say that it was the most precious season that we have ever experienced. Friday evening I met the students at the college, and we certainly experienced a large measure of God’s Holy Spirit. Before we closed the meeting, which lasted three hours and a quarter, every person present had definitely given himself to God. As we separated, every heart, with scarcely an exception, was given to God for service, wherever he might send, even though it be to the darkest parts of the earth. All were filled with the peace and joy of forgiveness.

“I never saw a better spirit than prevails in our college this year, and I believe that it will mean much for the advancement of our work in the future. In the morning and afternoon of the Sabbath the students met with the church, and we had a most precious season; the Lord came very near in both these services.

“I believe that our offerings will be the largest this year that we have ever had in this field. The reports that have come in from the various parts of the field on the progress of the week of prayer have been most encouraging. Truly the Lord is beginning to pour out his Spirit in the latter rain, and we are experiencing the loud cry of the third angel’s message. Our people are definitely preparing for the closing of this message as I never saw them prepare before. We are all of good courage, and expect soon to see the triumph of the message.”
