England

By Editor

[In a personal letter from Prof. H. R. Salisbury we find so much which we think will be of general interest that we take the liberty to print the following notes of progress.—Ed.]

THE work in Great Britain is making excellent progress. Here in the South England Conference we are waging a vigorous campaign, and we have more laborers now than ever before since the field was divided.

Brother and Sister Jensen are working in North Kensington, where we have a company of over sixty.

We have just opened work in Hastings for the first time. It will be rather a hard place to work on account of its being a seaside resort, but things are starting out very nicely. Brother McCord and Sister Whitgrove are there.

Brother George Nickels, who took four years with us in the Duncombe Hall Training College, has charge of the church at Southsea and the church at East Cowes.

Brother Ritchie is at Plymouth, planning to start a new church in the suburb of Plympton, and at the same time to build up the church at Plymouth.

Brother Gautereau, who has been canvassing in Scotland since coming over from France, has just gone to Southampton this week to help the church there, and if possible to develop into a church the small company at Eastleigh which was raised up by our students this past summer.

In London nearly all the companies and churches are cared for by the teachers and the students of the Training College. We now have a church at Catford, and a company of over thirty at Edmonton, raised up by student labor.

Last week we also started Sabbath meetings in Ilford in charge of one of our students, and the children's department is being conducted by one of the

young ladies from the Training College.

Our tithe last year for the South England Conference was fourteen hundred pounds. At the present rate of increase we bid fair to have sixteen hundred pounds the coming year.

Our college goes on nicely. We have a most excellent class of young people with us again this year, and already, although this is but the middle of our fifth year, there are many workers scattered throughout Great Britain, and some in other lands, who have been educated here.
