The Northwestern Training-School

By B. C. Haak

This little school, located at Portage la Prairie, Manitoba, Canada, numbers at present fifteen, and more are expected the coming week. We are glad to say that even though our numbers are few, the quality makes up for the quantity. If it had not been for the failure of the wheat crop in this region, every room in our building would now be occupied. Nevertheless, we thank God that he has opened the way for even these few to obtain an education that will enable them to become more efficient workers in this portion of the Lord's vineyard. All are working hard, and are making good progress, and the Lord is adding his choicest blessing.

Five of our students were engaged in the canvassing work the past season, and expect to enter it again after the school closes in the spring. They seem to have the true missionary spirit, and are anxious to help in every way possible in publishing abroad this truth.

The good meetings we had during the week of prayer were a great benefit to us. A deeper spirit of consecration was felt among us, and each expressed an earnest desire to have some part in this closing work. We thank God for this spirit among our students.
