France

By H. H. DEXTER.

LAST week I visited eastern France, on the frontier of Alsace-Lorraine.
I stopped off a day at the city of Besancon, the birthplace of the famous French poet, Victor Hugo. Here is a little company of six commandment-keepers, three of whom are watchmakers. Lately our evangelist who is here succeeded in renting a suitable hall in a recently vacated Jesuit convent.
Our work is progressing in France, rather slowly it is true, but nevertheless surely. Our church at Paris now numbers fifty, with a good outside interest. The Protestant denominations are fighting us hard from the pulpit and the press, but honest souls are coming to the light in spite of the opposition waged against us.
We are of good courage. Pray for us in France. H. H. DEXTER.
