Opening the Work in Kuala Lumpur

From Elder R. P. Montgomery, who several months ago, in company with his wife, went from the Foreign Mission Seminary to the Malay States, comes, under date of September 17, the following word: “The Lord has been very good to us since we came to this field. Our health is good thus far. We remained at Singapore until two weeks ago, when we came here to open up the work. Kuala Lumpur is the capital of the Federated Malay States. The population is about sixty thousand, composed mostly of Chinese and Tamils. There are a number of Europeans and Eurasians here also. Although we have been here but two weeks, we are giving Bible readings to eight Tamil men, and visiting from house to house, trying to awaken an interest. This is a very wicked place, but the prospects are encouraging. We thank the Lord that we have a part in his work.”
