Singapore

G. F. JONES

WE have had the joy of baptizing ten more converts at Singapore. They seem all the more precious because they have been won to the love of the truth in the face of opposition. Many methods have been employed to hinder our work, which naturally necessitated our doing some steady pulling up-stream, and holding each fort as we pushed onward. This was done, and we were able to build a fine church in view of the main thoroughfare of the city. Truly God has wrought for his work. There are sixty church-members, and over one hundred members of the Sabbath-school.
As scores of the happiest young people of Singapore are seen going to and coming from this memorial of present truth, it is verily a witness that the Lord is with this gospel. With this corps of young people, well drilled in missionary endeavor, we shall be able to enter the numerous islands of Dutch India, such as Borneo, Celebes, and a thousand more, with a population of fifty million people who are waiting for us to quickly give the third angel's message. We have already the plan of an industrial training-school that can at once provide for fifty students and two European teachers; but the saddest phase of our work is that so many of our foreign workers are from time to time returning home owing to broken health. We must, however, train our native converts, who are able to stay, and thus follow the apostolic methods of establishing the truth in every land.
