Scotland

By Horace J. Williams

EDINBURGH.—Just two months ago to-day my wife and I set sail from America, for Great Britain, with the purpose of entering upon the necessary course of study to fit us for medical missionary work in British territory.
In a most marvelous way we have seen the guiding hand of our Master all along our pathway. The manner in which the way was opened for us to prepare for the work in South Africa, and the removal of a number of what seemed to be insurmountable obstacles, is assuring evidence to our minds that our God is able to accomplish that which will glorify his name in all things.

We have wholly consecrated our lives and our all as medical missionaries in this great field, and our only ambition is that we may be used and directed by the great Medical Missionary in carrying the light of the third angel's message to those who are in darkness. By his grace we are determined always to be found faithful to that which has been committed to our hands, that we may say with David of old, “I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation: I have not concealed thy loving-kindness and thy truth from the great congregation.” Ps. 40: 10. We earnestly ask that we may be remembered by God's people in prayer, especially that we may have strength and wisdom for the ordeal to which we must soon be subjected here.
We are enjoying our life as medical missionary students in Scotland very much, although my lectures at the Royal College and clinical work at the infirmary keep me busy from nine in the morning till eight in the evening. I have enjoyed the privilege of several Bible studies and talks with my fellow students. I find that the poor, disease-afflicted souls with whom we come in contact daily in the wards and clinics of the Royal Infirmary appreciate a kindly look or touch or word of Christian love.
We have also been glad after the toil of the week is over, for the privilege of meeting from Sabbath to Sabbath with the little band of believers here, who are nobly standing for this last great truth to the world.
We are looking forward with pleasure to the general meeting at Glasgow next month, when we shall have the opportunity of becoming acquainted with the other workers laboring in this part of the great harvest-field.
