Honolulu

By C. D. M. Williams

WE are glad to get the dear old REVIEW every week, and to read of the progress of the message in every land; surely the Lord is in the work, and now it looks as if Rom. 9:28 might soon be fulfilled. We are praising the Lord for the good work that he is doing here. Souls are being brought to the Lord, and the church is being strengthened spiritually. Two were baptized some time ago, and last Sunday we went down to the beach and buried three more dear souls in baptism.

When we first came here, the members seemed discouraged, and thought that nothing could be done; and it really seemed almost impossible to make a start, but by surrendering ourselves to the Lord the spell has been broken, and we are now rejoicing that the Lord is not only working to save others, but a renewed consecration is coming into our own hearts, and in laboring for others we ourselves are being saved.

At first it seemed almost impossible to get readers, but now we have so many that we can take no more unless it be in the forenoon.

We are hoping that some help will be furnished us soon; but when we see the appeals coming from other fields, we almost hesitate to ask for help here, lest we might shut out some more needy field. Surely the fields are white already, and we need continually to pray that the Lord of the harvest will send more laborers into the field. We have a class

of six Chinese young men, and about the same number of girls, who are very much interested. One of the boys was baptized last Sunday, and is proving himself to be a worker in the cause of his Master. C. D. M. WILLIAMS.
