Scotland

By W. Dalry Maclay

It is now thirteen months since we left the United States, and in many respects it has been an eventful period.

Upon our arrival in Scotland we went to Kirkcaldy, and began work. The Lord blessed our efforts, and five persons embraced the truth. This was in the winter and spring. When the tent season opened, we began an effort in Falkirk, a town of twenty-nine thousand inhabitants. There was decided opposition on the part of the popular ministers, but notwithstanding all their influence, five persons began the observance of the Sabbath.

In August the general meeting for the mission field was in Paisley. It was the largest gathering of Scotch Sabbath-keepers ever held, and was a source of great encouragement to our people throughout Scotland. At this meeting the brethren recommended that I locate in Edinburgh. In harmony with this, I removed to Edinburgh in September. Since coming to this city, the Lord has blessed my labor by adding three new Sabbath-keepers to the little company here.

I am enjoying my work in Scotland very much, and trust that God will use me to bring the light to many who are in darkness and the shadow of death.
