The Cause in Europe.

By J. N. Andrews

BRO. ANDREWS, in speaking of a meeting recently held in Locle, Switzerland, says: BRO. Albert Vuilleumier was chosen chairman, and Bro. Jules E. Dietchy, Secretary. A committee of three was chosen to take the oversight of the work for the ensuing year. The members of this committee are Albert Vuilleumier, Louis Shield, and J. N. Andrews.

The urgent necessity for publications was considered, and it was voted to raise 2000 francs to commence the work of publishing. Of this sum 1800 francs were raised at once, and others not present will more than make up the remainder.

It is not expected at this time to print any tracts except such as have been already translated in America, or which may soon be translated there. The brethren decided also that when they have printed an edition of tracts, they will not claim them for distribution for what they now give, but will cheerfully pay a fair price for them in order to keep good their funds for publication. The fund was entrusted to the care of the committee.

At Basel there is a printer who carries on quite a large business who is somewhat interested in our work. We can probably get work done by him to good advantage.

It is the day of small things with us here at present, but we do not despise them. The providence of God is at work for us, and we mean to keep as near to it as possible. The brethren are of good courage, and ready to do all that is in their power.

J. N. ANDREWS.
