Week-of-Prayer Notes

By B. E. CONNERLY; CAROLINE KYSOR; J. A. MORROW; B. F. RICHARDS

Porto Rico

THE week of prayer is now in the past, and it has been a precious season to our little company in Mayaguez. Brother Moulton came from Arecibo during the last part of the meetings. In the morning we had the readings in English, and in the evening we had them in Spanish, and the Spirit of God was present in rich measure. On Sabbath, December 17, we had baptism early in the morning, four going forward in that sacred ordinance, and later in the day we organized the church with thirteen members, after which we celebrated the ordinances. It was a precious season, and one long to be remembered. B. E. CONNERLY.

From an Isolated Group

WE are two old people living alone. We held our meetings, read the readings, and prayed. We gave three dollars last year. You said it would have to be doubled this, and so we had to pray for that. We were sick, and could not go out to get the money. But I said it must come, and so it did. After our last reading we took up what had come in, and it was six dollars, and ten cents to buy the money order. CAROLINE KYSOR.

Bermuda

THE work is deepening with our new Sabbath-keepers. I feel sure we can count on twelve or fourteen of these. One intelligent man has not fully decided, but I feel hopeful for him. I never saw the Spirit of God work with more power. Truly we are seeing a few drops of the latter rain here in Bermuda. J. A. MORROW.

Oakland, California

DAILY, through the week, the Spirit of God was with us. The church, by the way, is not so large by eighty members as it was before the removal to Mountain View. Last year the annual offering was under two hundred dollars. Our people were greatly touched this year by the situation. When the offering was called for, there was an opening of many envelopes to increase the gifts, and considerable loose money was put in the baskets. The entire congregation knelt in prayer, thanking God for the privilege of sending means to help spread this message to earth’s remotest bounds. The offering was $306.50. B. F. RICHARDS.
