The Philippine Islands
By E. R. P.
ACCOMPANYING the monthly summary, Elder L. V. Finster sends the following word concerning the work in the Philippine Islands:— “Our report is small, as a large part of the month was used in delivering and in getting to work in new territory. Brother R. A. Caldwell is now making the first trip to northern Luzon. None of our southern islands here have ever been touched, and they are the richest of all the group. Brother Caldwell has delivered about fifteen hundred copies of ‘Patriarchs and Prophets’ and one thousand copies of ‘Coming King’ in the island of Luzon, and has worked only a part of it. I am very anxious that some one start soon to work in these southern islands. Sending out canvassers will not make a very heavy drain on the funds of the General Conference, and they are our best pioneer workers. We have been encouraged by seeing about a dozen natives take their stand for the truth during the past few weeks.” For about two years now we have been searching diligently for one or two experienced young men to take up work with Brethren Finster and Caldwell in the Philippine Islands. Undoubtedly the Lord has some one in preparation for that interesting field. We wish to get in touch with any of our canvassers who may feel a burden for that field.
