Manila, Philippine Islands
By R. A. Caldwell
A FEW days ago I made a start with our first book in the native language, “Thoughts on the Book of Daniel.” The best day I received upward of twenty orders. I believe the book will meet with a good reception from the people who speak this dialect. The first month after my return from our visit to Shanghai, China, I completed the unfinished city territory with “Coming King” in Spanish, and obtained nearly two hundred orders. I worked mostly among the offices, where the young men receive a fair salary, and are thus in a position to buy. We were glad to find upon our return that the work had been advancing under the efforts of an aggressive laborer. We are looking forward to the visit of Elder I. H. Evans, and also hope we shall have some new workers before very long. Shall we hope in vain?
