Federated Malay States

By Mr. R. P. Montgomery; Mrs. R. P. Montgomery

UPON coming to the Orient, we stopped at Singapore and remained there almost six months. While working for the English-speaking people, we studied the Malay language. It was a great pleasure to be associated in the work there with Brother and Sister Jones. They have had a number of years' experience working among the people of these islands, and we were much benefited by being with them.
About three months ago we came to Kuala Lumpur, the capital of the Federated Malay States. This is a nice city of about fifty thousand inhabitants, and is located up among the mountains. The population is composed mostly of Tamil Indians and Chinese, many of whom read and speak English.
There are eight Tamil men attending our Bible readings, and we hope some of them will accept the message. While many in this city are afflicted with malarial fever, we are thankful that our health is good, and that God has been so merciful to us. We are of good courage, and enjoy the work.
MR. AND MRS. R. P. MONTGOMERY.
