A Note from Elder Guy Dail

A NOTE from Elder Guy Dail, dated The Hague, October 18, says, with reference to the crowded conditions in some of our institutions and their lack of greater facilities: “In these times it does not hurt if we have to crowd together a bit. Think of the many millions who have to curtail their expenses and put up with greater inconveniences. One of the lessons of the present time for our church members is that many of their luxuries can be cut off without injury. How many of our brethren are now able to get on with much less than formerly! They are learning that, if nothing else. We had to cut our periodicals down in size. They sell just as well as before; in fact, if we compare August, 1916, with the same month of last year, there is a gain for this last August of over $3,000 in our sales. Our canvassers are doing well. We hear that Brother M. Pönig, of the Pare Mission, is now in Ahmednagar, India, as prisoner of war. We know nothing of his wife or of other missionaries in German East Africa.”
