British Union Reports Good Courage Amid War

From Scotland, where he was attending general meetings, Elder W. J. Fitzgerald, president of the British Union Conference, reports the workers of good courage, and general conditions in Great Britain surprisingly near normal notwithstanding the anxiety and the grief and suspense in view of the conflict in progress on the Continent. “It does all of us on this side good,” he says, “to learn of the loyal and generous attitude of our American brethren toward the European Division in this time of our terrible crisis. From the beginning, we felt fully assured that in case of the missions in any parts of our division coming to need we could expect practical succor from the North American Division through the General Conference.” The British Union office is endeavoring to keep in touch with the outlying mission fields to be reached by the British steamship lines.
