News From Hilo and Seoul

FROM Hilo, on the island of Hawaii (the largest of the group), comes the good word that the first fruits of the message were added to the church on Sabbath, January 15, when three new believers were baptized on the occasion of Elder F. H. Conway’s visit. Others are studying the truth, and it is hoped that ere long a strong church may be raised up on this island, where the people have waited so long for workers. Brother and Sister McKeague are pleading for help to be sent them, as they are unable to meet the present demands.

WE cannot fully appreciate what it means to our missionaries out in the far fields, separated as they often are by long distances from skilful physicians, when a sudden attack of some disease overtakes them, which might be relieved perhaps by an operation. Brother H. A. Oberg, connected with the publishing work at Seoul, Korea, recently had a severe attack of appendicitis, yet scarcely knows where to go for relief. Let us not forget to pray earnestly that God’s special blessings may rest upon our faithful missionaries at work amid the many difficulties in distant lands.
