South Africa

By W. S. Hyatt

CAPE TOWN.—There are many evidences of prosperity and the blessing of the Lord in our work in this field. Our little conference of less than four hundred members is using six thousand five hundred copies of the Sentinel, and this paper is paying its own way. At the present time we have a workers’ class in connection with the college. This is very much like the conference schools which are held in America. We are studying how to canvass, give Bible readings, and administer simple treatments. We have fifteen in attendance, and all are enjoying the work. We will begin to canvass for “Christ’s Object Lessons” soon.

We need more laborers in South Africa, and are praying that the Lord will put the burden of the work into the hearts of his people. We are glad that a few have responded, and are fitting themselves for service.

Our schools are doing well. At Uitenhage, Brother Edmed has just dedicated a church and opened a school. At East London, Brother Tarr has organized a church, and several were baptized. Brother Freeman has started a school in Basutoland, and the work is onward there.

Realizing the need of the power of the Lord in our work here, a few of us are meeting together regularly to consider the needs and to seek the Lord for wisdom, that the message may go forward in this field. W. S. HYATT.
