Progress in South Africa

FROM a letter written by Elder W. B. White, president of the South African Union Conference, dated June 9, we quote the following: “The last few weeks have been quite stirring times here in South Africa. In nearly all the large cities, such as Cape Town and Johannesburg, we have been having riots. These began shortly after the sinking of the ‘Lusitania.’ At the present time things are quiet. We are living down in the last days, when, as the apostle Paul tells us, perilous times will come. Our work here is onward, and we have many things to encourage us. Our South African Sentinel has now reached a monthly circulation of 5,000 copies. This is our actual subscription list. We are printing about twenty thousand copies every month, and the paper is doing good work throughout the field. We continually receive letters from interested persons whose minds have been awakened to thought by reading the paper. New workers are coming to the field, and we are looking toward the future with anticipation. We had a most excellent union conference at Durban. Elder Spicer was with us, and his labors were highly appreciated. He is now visiting our mission stations in Rhodesia.”
