By F. E. Cary

NORTHEAST BRIT.— It has now been some time since the work in this place has been reported. After a vacation of two weeks, I again opened school, with an enrolment of twenty-nine. The ages of the pupils range from six to sixteen, and we have seven grades. Although we are now having rainy weather, most all attend quite regularly.
At least half of the children are from homes where this precious truth is not obeyed; and while they may know it to some extent, still there is great need for missionary work with them. I am continually having opportunity to send them reading-matter, which they seem to enjoy. As I see some results of my work, I am filled with courage to press on as never before.
It is our prayer that God may use the training that these children are receiving to bring their parents into the truth. God alone knows the work that this army of children can do if they are dedicated to him.
“As the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: so shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it,” is a promise that buoys us up to sow the seed. Soon will the Master come. May we be faithful till that great day, and meet our Saviour in peace!
