Canal Zone

By Chas. F. Innis

The first of a series of institutes for canvassers and home workers to be held in the conference, began February 1, in the Mt. Hope church near Cristobal, Canal Zone, Panama, and closed February 6.

Several of the brethren from other churches in Canal Zone, with a goodly number from the Mt. Hope church, were in daily attendance. All entered heartily into the spirit of the meeting, which meant diligent study and preparation for the sale of the subscription books and magazines. A spirit of service for the Lord, of consecration to the work, and of love for those still in darkness, was manifest at each service.

Elder H. C. Goodrich was with us throughout the entire meeting, and the daily Bible study was much appreciated, as were his words of counsel in planning the work. He also conducted preaching service each night, with a good attendance of our people, and many others came from the village. We trust that the interest awakened may be followed up, and many dear souls be saved.

At the close of the institute, the territory of the Canal Zone was assigned to the various canvassers, and they went to their homes and places of labor glad to have a part in giving the last gospel message.
