Singapore

By R. P. Montgomery

We are glad to report progress in the work at this place. For about one year we have had a lively interest among the Chinese. Prior to this time it seemed as if nothing could be done for these people in this English colony. But we can certainly praise the Lord for what he is doing for us. The Spirit of the Lord has been at work, and after several years of sowing the seed, we are beginning to reap. Recently eight Chinese were baptized, all of whom are faithful. The attendance at our Sabbath-school and Chinese meetings is good. Through the faithful and patient efforts of our Chinese workers, Brother Chan and his daughter, Chan Teck Sung, these people have had line upon line and precept upon precept taught them. Many of them have been keeping the Sabbath for months.

After our return from the council held in Java, Elder F. A. Detamore gave these Chinese some special Bible studies preparatory to baptism, and it was our blessed privilege to see fifteen of them follow their Lord in baptism.

At the next prayer-meeting it would have done your hearts good could you have listened as they testified to the goodness of the Lord in leading them into the light of present truth. This makes a good addition to our number in Singapore. When you pray, remember Malaysia. R. P. MONTGOMERY.
