Another Special Providence

By William A. Spicer

THE last India mail brought most interesting information. For a long time we have been hearing of Tamil-speaking Christians, in South India, observing the Sabbath. At last it has been found possible to visit them, Brethren Shaw, Enoch, and James being the party to make the visit.
In letters from these brethren they report themselves pleased and surprised indeed at what they found—a thousand Sabbath-keeping people, earnest and zealous in the truth that they know, and most anxious to have a missionary located among them to teach them further and lead them in service. The brethren felt that Elder Enoch should respond to this call instead of settling on the Bombay side of India as had been planned.
Soon, we are promised, full reports will be sent. The brethren feel that this is another indication that the Lord has many surprises for us as the work moves onward. “He will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness.”
Of late these experiences have been coming in our work. In Korea, in Turkestan, in other parts, we have had this experience of seeing the truth planted and bringing forth fruit away beyond our own efforts. So the Lord is leading the work forward. It only increases our responsibility, for at once the call becomes more urgent for helpers and teachers. Truly we live in stirring times.
