Our New Russian Paper

By Guy Dail

JUST now the eyes of the whole world are turned toward Russia and the Russians. The events of the last few weeks have quickened the interest we as a people must feel in the proclamation of the gospel to the dwellers in the land of Gog and Magog. What of the future? is a question many a man is pondering. Last year our membership among the native Russians almost doubled itself, although we have but four workers among them. Their tithe nearly doubled, also. This record has been made by many fields. These facts show that God is at work here. We have now a membership of six hundred and forty-six in this field.

FACSIMILE OF THE HEADING OF OUR RUSSIAN PAPER

For some time we have been trying to get matters arranged to have a regular Russian paper, printed in the Russian language. The first issue of this paper has now appeared. It is called the Olive Tree, in Russian. It contains sixteen pages. There are eight issues annually. It is a good paper for general missionary work, and also is suited to our own people. It contains the Russian Sabbath-school lessons. The accompanying illustration is a reduced facsimile of a part of the first page of the first number of this paper.

We should be pleased if our people generally would take an interest in circulating this paper among Russian-speaking people. Especially will it be welcome in the homes of Russians in America. The price is forty cents a year. Address all orders to International Tract Society, Grindelberg 15a, Hamburg, Germany, or to Treasurer General Conference, Takoma Park Station, Washington, D. C.
