South Africa

By O. O. Fortner

Kenilworth, Cape.—We have not been having our week of prayer at the same time as do our brethren in the States. Ours was the last week in last quarter, and our churches enjoyed the occasion very much. Elder Hankins was with the Claremont church, and I assisted in the work in the Cape Town church. Elder Hyatt was with us the first two meetings in Cape Town, then he left for America. In Cape Town the church received more help, and a greater blessing, than at any other like occasion. When the week was over, they did not want the meetings to stop, so we continued the revival each evening of the following week. The members are very much interested in missionary work. The offerings in Cape Town amounted to eighty-five dollars, and at Claremont to about sixty-three.
Our mission enterprises are prospering nicely. Only Basutoland holds back. Elder Armitage is at the sanitarium, and is slowly recovering. Brother Shone is taking Brother Moko (our native missionary) to Chief Kama, of the eastern province, to see about getting a place for him to start a school and begin work. Kama wants to give us a good location for a mission, but he wants Brother Moko to come immediately and start work, as he, being a native, has the right to live there and work.
