France

NIMES.—We introduced our work in this city by placing in each home a little four-page tract, containing a solemn appeal to the people to repent of their sins in view of the coming of the great day of God, also inviting them to our meeting. One of the leading newspapers in southern France reproduced the entire tract, making a few favorable remarks concerning the work being done by a strange sect of American Christians. “To read these beautiful and simple words,” commented the editor, “one would think himself transported to the times of primitive Christianity.” The Lord's hand was surely in this, for not only Nimes has been warned by the five thousand here distributed, but thousands of other people have read the same appeal in the columns of this popular newspaper.

After our camp-meeting here we rented a good hall, centrally located, where four times each week we give studies on present truth. Our average attendance is about thirty adults, who give respectful attention to our explanation of the prophecies. We meet a number of people who attended Elder D. T. Bourdeau's tent-meetings held in this city twenty years ago.
