Samoa

By W. E. Floding

APIA.— We have just received four hundred and seventy copies of “Christ Our Saviour,” and in the last mail I received three thousand tracts—“We Would See Jesus.” I have been working with these since they came, but will not be able to reach many places until the dry weather sets in. As it is, I have waded from fifteen to twenty streams to the east of us, and the roads are so muddy to the west that twelve miles is as far as I can go on foot.

I have been showing the natives a copy of the book which I received by mail, and I am sure it is going to take well. They are pleased with it. I shall not be able to sell very many until the dry season. At present copra is not being made, and this is about the only means the people have of earning money. Later I believe I shall have good success in selling the books. A blacksmith here is reading our literature, and has accepted the Sabbath. W. E. FLODING.
