GLASGOW.— We recently removed our public meetings into a more commodious hall in a very thickly populated part of the city. While we have not had at any time large audiences, we have seen a growing interest in the meetings, and an encouraging attendance. Brother J. Stokes is associated with me here in the work of the gospel ministry, and we have had times of refreshing in the enjoyment of the sweet presence of God.

In connection with our meetings we are conducting a series of gospel health meetings. In uniting the two great lines of gospel work, we are simply giving the “right arm” its rightful place in the body, the only place where it can be productive of everlasting good.

We are glad to report the interest manifested by the members of our Sabbath school, in the lessons arranged. This quarter we formed four good adult classes, one intermediate class, and three primary classes. We believe the Sabbath school to be a “tower of strength” in the education of our people in the message for this hour.

Cottage meetings are also conducted from week to week in Glasgow and the surrounding districts.

Brethren E. Aplin and R. M. Lamie, who are engaging in Bible work and canvassing, are also assisting in these meetings. The conducting of cottage meetings, while inexpensive, has proved to be a very efficient means of reaching the people with the truth. Sister M. Lamie, who has been laboring in Liverpool for the last two years, has now joined us in this country, and we are sure the Lord will continue to use her as a means of blessing to this people. We are circulating over three thousand copies of The Present Truth weekly.

Something is also being done in the city of Edinburgh. Brother D. P. Miller and his family have recently arrived from New York, and settled in Edinburgh. Brother Miller is doing true missionary work, by going about doing good. He is introducing Present Truth, our pioneer missionary paper, and also carrying the gospel of health for the body through the health magazine. The Lord will bless his labor of love.
