The Philippines

By N. Z. Town

Brother C. E. Weaks, secretary of the Publishing Department of the Asiatic Division, recently held his first institute with the workers in the Philippine Islands. Concerning this institute Brother W. E. Lanier, the field secretary for the Philippines, writes:—

“Brother Weaks has just spent a little more than two weeks with us. We had an eight-day institute, which was very profitable to all. It was indeed a treat to have Brother Weaks with us. We had about twenty present in our institute, mostly from the Tagalog field. We have about thirty canvassers at work at the present time, and are hoping to sell $20,000 worth of books this year. A few days ago I received the largest report ever sent in by a native canvasser. In fifty-five hours he sold $141.50 worth of books. American currency.”

We rejoice with our brethren in the Philippines over the good work that is being done in that field.
