Encouraging Report from Riga

FROM a letter written by Elder J. T. Boettcher, dated at Riga, Russia, January 25, we glean the following encouraging item:—
In Riga we had very good meetings during the week of prayer, followed by a baptism of twenty-four persons. Among them was an old lady ninety-one years of age. Others were held back because they had not obtained their official dismissal from their former church, without which we are not allowed to baptize. Our offering was six hundred dollars during the week of prayer. Since New-year's we have organized a third church in Riga, our membership altogether being over three hundred. Our tithe in Riga during 1911 was almost four thousand dollars. Last Sunday our young people gave an interesting program on our African missions. The collection for that field amounted to forty-seven rubles, or twenty-three dollars.
