Good News From Japan

THE young people in the Orient have joined our ranks, and are moving forward rapidly. Seldom has a postal-card carried more items of cheer than one recently received from Brother J. Herboltzheimer, who wrote from Kobe, Japan. We quote his card in full:—

“Just a few words to tell you of the progress in our work for the young people. At our last general meeting, at which Elder I. H. Evans was present, it was voted to extend our young people's work. Elder H. Kuniya was elected secretary, and I as his assistant. Plans are being made to get out another Morning Watch Calendar. Our first effort in putting out two hundred calendars last year proved a success, and all like the idea very much. This year we shall print a much larger number. Our young people here responded nobly to the call for help during the recent floods, and more than two hundred garments were collected, and distributed among the sufferers. In July six young people were baptized, and several are waiting to receive this ordinance. Opportunity to earn scholarships in our school has been given, and many are taking up canvassing with this purpose in view. We praise God for his goodness to us, and we are all of good courage.” M. E.
