Norfolk Island

By HARRY MITCHELL

We are all well, and are pushing on in our work. Our Bible class which we organized recently, is quite a success. Our dear people are anxious to learn, and are doing well. Quite a number are able to give a complete Bible study without the aid of helps. We are studying the subject of creation in its various phases, from Pastor Fulton's text-book, which we find to be an excellent little work.

We are adopting the plan of memorizing the Scriptures in our Young People's work also. We are indeed glad to report good progress in church work here. Our people are coming up on many lines, but we want to see a more decided stand yet. We need much patience, as the work of character-building is the work of a lifetime.

We will faithfully use all the Signs that may be sent us. The people here tell us that they like the paper very much. The only way that we can reach many is by our papers, and this must be done by free distribution, as the people are too poor to purchase a paper.

We are very hopeful that in the near future we shall have some brethren from Norfolk Island ready to assist in opening up the work in the other islands.

We are of good courage, and are striving to help these dear people to lay hold of this last closing message.

HARRY MITCHELL.
