India

By Harry Armstrong

DARJEELING.—The last Sabbath I spent in Calcutta we had a glorious meeting. Four adult candidates were baptized. Two of these were young medical students from the government medical college. They have accepted the truths presented, and united with the church. Another young man from the college is also awaiting baptism. I have just had a letter from Captain —'s wife, of the medical college, who is also keeping the Sabbath, saying the young men are all of good courage, and the leaven of truth is at work among the students. I pray that this good work may go speedily forward, and that good workers may be gathered from this corner.

We are now in the hills. Never before have we seen such place as this. We are all enjoying the best of health. God has been so kind to us while living in the plains. I believe he has in a special manner strengthened us for the work during this last year.

We expect to leave here May 1, and sail from Calcutta for Ceylon, May 6. We are hoping to raise a monument to the truth in Ceylon. We do not have one Sabbath-keeper in the island; and yet there must be a company gathered from that place to join the one hundred and forty-four thousand.
