Eastern Canada

By Wm. Guthrie

PORT HOPE, ONTARIO.—The past year has been one in which our hearts have drawn near to the Lord, and he has come very near to us. As the days have passed, and our work has progressed, his presence has been with us, giving fruit for our labor.
During 1910 we sought the Lord for a definite number of souls to accept this truth, and he heard us, giving a large per cent of what we asked of him. We rejoice to say that the number added to the believers in this union conference during last year is equal to the results of the two previous years' work. The workers have exercised greater faith in the saving power and presence of Jesus. It is true we have been dependent on the General Conference to make appropriations for no small part of our support; and for this support we have been very grateful. We are praying that this year may witness such an ingathering of souls that soon we shall, as a union, be entirely self-supporting.
Our workers are nearly all in the field, intent on gathering souls for the kingdom. Some changes have been made; but while some have been called to other parts of the field, we hope that the cause will continue to make advancement.
Feeling the need of earnest work in this conference, and knowing that we should make advance moves in our publishing work, and realizing the shortness of funds, I have decided not to attend the council in Europe, although it was voted that I go. Our lack of funds will prevent filling many calls that come to us from the different parts of the field, but we trust means will be provided for the finishing of the work.
The people are of one mind and one heart to finish the work in this generation. There are many obstacles to be met in this north country, but the Lord can not be bound about by such things, and in him we put our confidence. He will do a quick work, and cut it short in righteousness. His coming is near, and this work will soon close in triumph. Wm. GUTHRIE.
