A Good Word From Wales

By N. Z. TOWN

At the time of the Welsh annual meeting in March of last year, the brethren in that conference were urged by the union president to work to the end of becoming self-supporting by the beginning of 1916. Some of those present encouraged them to believe that they might reach this desirable goal much sooner if all joined in the effort. In a recent letter received from Elder A. E. Bacon, president of the Welsh Conference, he writes as follows:

“For the years 1912 and 1913 this field drew an appropriation of nearly £350 ($1,700) each year, and during 1914 the British Union voted us £172 ($860). I am glad to tell you that by the help and blessing of the Lord, in spite of five months of the year being war months, we lacked only $40 of being self-supporting last year. Our tithe showed a gain of more than £200 ($1,000) over the previous year, and our offerings a gain of £73 ($365). To God be the glory. We enter upon this year with confidence, knowing that the mighty God of Israel will bless and prosper his people and work in the earth.” N. Z. TOWN.
