Fat Shan, China

By Law Keem

LAW KEEM

The Lord has blessed our labors with some fruit, although we can not see all the result. Our Sabbath-school has grown from one class at the beginning to four classes at the present time. This third year we have two canvassers who spend most of their time selling papers and tracts throughout the country. One is much studying the Bible, preparing himself to become an evangelist; he is also learning to give treatments and care for the sick. This thorough preparation will fit him for work wherever he goes. China is full of sick people,—sick both in body and in soul. When not out in the field, these two brethren assist in all the chapel meetings and in the dispensary.

Last June four believers were baptized. One was a minister, who accepted the truth over a year ago. He severed his connection with his church at the beginning of the present year, and has been doing faithful work with us ever since.

Our Sabbath-keepers all pay their tithe, and are always ready with good donations to the Sabbath-school and church. Those who have shops close them on the Sabbath.

One of our young brethren was married to a young sister in Bethel School, Canton, who was baptized a year ago. This sister is preparing herself for teaching; and as soon as she finishes the course, we shall open a girls' school in Fat Shan, having a Sabbath-keeping teacher in charge.

This fall the believers of our little company are to be organized into a church. At that time several others will, we hope, be ready for baptism.

We are of the best of courage, and expect to press the battle to the gates. Pray for us in Fat Shan.
