The British Union Conference

THIS union conference includes the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, the home land of the English-speaking peoples. From the report by Elder W. J. Fitzgerald, president of the union, we gather these items for 1909:—

There has been growth in each division of our field, 262 new members having been added to our churches. Our publishing house, at Watford, has been kept busy supplying publications, of which over seventy thousand dollars' worth have been sold. The Stanborough Park Missionary College, at the Watford headquarters, has been erecting a new college building, which, when finished, will enable the school to accommodate a hundred students. Our union conference gladly sent forth six young people, former students, to engage in mission work in India, Africa, and elsewhere.

The sanitarium, at Caterham, Surrey, has had the most successful year in its history. Important improvements have been made, these being paid for out of the earnings of the institution. Of new places where our work was established during the year, we may mention Inverness, the ancient capital of the Scottish Highlands; and North Wales, where we have made a start; while in Downpatrick, Ireland, the home and burial-place of St. Patrick, a work has been established, and a place of worship erected.
