HAMILTON.— We are holding Bible readings in private families as we can. Sabbath was a good day with us. Two weeks ago one of our Boer brethren (these men were sent here as prisoners during the Boer War) requested baptism. The day was set for one week ago last Sunday. The Friday before, he came to me, informing me that there were two others who wished to be baptized at the same time. They gave good proof that they were fully submitted to the will of God; but the time being short, I thought it would be better to defer the baptism one week, to give time for instruction. On Wednesday evening of this week, another came forward, asking for baptism, stating that he had felt deeply convicted about baptism since January, when the first of their number was baptized. This raised the number of candidates to four. I wish you could have seen their faces beam with holy joy. They are studying the message. It is truly good to see how fast they grasp the truth. One of these men reads Holland and German. I hope they will yet carry this message to many in Africa. So the good work is moving, though it seems slow at times.
