Panvel, India

By A. G. KELSEY

A. G. KELSEY
WE are moving our school, dispensary, and workers into our new quarters, where we have all within one walled compound, with water pipe and other much-needed improvements.
We have a fine Sabbath school of about fifty children. They are much interested in the lessons, and quite enthusiastic in learning the Scripture memory verses. They are nearly all non-Christian, but children of the better classes. We have a good interest at the dispensary. Our first two candidates are nearly ready for baptism, and we are thankful for this man and his wife. They professed Christianity, but were higher critics. Since hearing the truth they have rejoiced in the Christian’s hope.
The people of Panvel are very friendly and pleasant, but they do not readily respond to Christian effort. However, we believe that there are precious souls here who may be drawn to Christ if we but continue the Christian life before them.
Our work up to the present has been confined to Panvel alone, but we hope to move out into some of the near-by villages next year. The Lord has blessed us with good health since we came to India, and we are full of courage in the work, looking for Christ’s soon appearing.
