The Metropolis of the Malay Straits

By R. P. Montgomery

OUR Sabbath services in Singapore are conducted in three languages,—English, Chinese, and Malay. We have with us a few young men from Borneo, who have come to learn more of the message of the soon coming of the Lord. A man has also come to us from the island of Moa, on the west coast of the Malay Peninsula. He is very zealous for the cause of Christ. We have a fine class of young people in training. Just a ride down one of the busy streets of Singapore, jammed with people of scores of languages and divers religions, is enough to inspire any consecrated Christian with a desire to do all possible to direct their feet in the way of life eternal. There are in the Malaysian field, of which Singapore is our mission headquarters, fifty million people, of over one hundred tongues and nearly every heathen religion and shade of Mohammedan belief.
R. P. MONTGOMERY.
