General Meeting for Kwang-si Province, China
By B. L. Anderson
ACCORDING to appointment, the annual meeting for Kwang-si was held May 24-28, at Wu-chau, the port of the above-named province. From the beginning, the attendance was good, and at every service the chapel was filled. Many people found sitting room in the court, which had been provided with a bamboo covering to protect them from the rain and from the heat of the sun. All the native workers were present, and rendered reports from their respective stations. The companies of believers are scattered far and wide, so that by reason of the long distances they would have to travel, and the large expense, only those near the place of meeting were privileged to be present. The attendance averaged about fifty, and the interest was good from the beginning to the close. In the evening, people not of our faith came in; and as they listened to the prophecies of the Bible on the second coming of Christ, tears came to their eyes, and they would say, “That is the truth.” A number presented themselves for baptism, but it was thought best to defer this rite until a later date, when they could be baptized at their home stations. On the Sabbath day a very interesting Sabbath school was conducted. The offering received amounted to more than $10. Brethren A. Mountain and A. L. Ham were present at this meeting. The former gave special instruction in regard to literature work, while the latter assisted Dr. Law Keem and the writer in looking after the spiritual interests of the people and in establishing them more firmly in the truth.
