In India they teach that “he who contemplates the Ganges, while walking, sitting, sleeping, etc., is delivered from all sins.”

The great problem that missionaries are trying to solve is the conversion of Mohammedans to Christianity. The Mohammedan is a fatalist. His religion ministers to pride and self-sufficiency. The Mohammedan will tell you that a Mohammedan never becomes a Christian, that it is impossible. But there must be power in the third angel’s message to accomplish that which other missionary societies have not accomplished.

The greatest number of baptisms reported in any one conference in the European field during the third quarter of 1906 is seventy, in the Eastern German Conference. In the Western German Conference forty-three were baptized, and forty in the Southern. In the Northern Russian Mission field, amid its revolution and strife, twenty-five were baptized into the faith, with twenty-eight added in central Russia, and eighteen in the southern part of that great empire.
