The Levant.—

By L. P. Tieche

Since the Friedensau council, I have attended the Swiss, the French, and a general meeting in Spain. At all these meetings we have enjoyed great blessings from the Lord. I am now visiting the workers and companies in Italy. When I arrived at Gravina, I found Brother Creanza dying. He died yesterday, and was buried to-day, Sabbath, October 28. Brother Creanza stayed at his post of duty until he could not stand on his feet any more. He was a faithful and very active worker. He brought the truth to many, and was respected by Protestants and Catholics. He was a member of the school board of the city, and the city authorities took part at his funeral. His death is a great loss to our work in Italy, where we have so few workers. We sincerely hope that the Lord will give us some one to take his place. Brother Creanza leaves a wife and six young children. He was only thirty-seven years old. Rev. 14:13. The work in the Latin Union is onward, but what an immense work we have to accomplish before the Lord comes! Can our people realize it, and leave us to struggle without means and workers? We have right here in Italy four men who could be put at work if our budget would permit.
