Kuala Lumpur, Malay States
By A. R. DUCKWORTH
It is a little over two years since the third angel’s message was heralded here in Kuala Lumpur, the capital of the Federated Malay States. Progress has been slow, but sure. This is necessarily so for several reasons. With only one or two exceptions, there is no work obtainable where one is exempt from working on the Sabbath. Believers of the message seek employment elsewhere; if unsuccessful, their only alternative is to return to their native country. Last year two were baptized by Elder Detamore, and three are awaiting baptism on his return from America. There are evidences of the Spirit’s working upon the hearts of others, who I hope will surrender before the end of the year. Tracts, papers, books, etc., silent messengers of mercy and love, have found their way to many homes and are doing their work. They are not only read here, but are forwarded from state to state, and even to distant countries. We have need of workers in the several languages spoken, Chinese, Tamil, Malay, etc. “The harvest truly is plenteous, but the laborers are few; pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth laborers into his harvest.”
