Spain

BARCELONA.—Our work is meeting with encouragement. Hardly a day passes but some new opening comes for Bible readings. We are not able to answer half the calls.

Last week an intelligent young man began to obey the truth. We had had but one or two personal talks with him. He became convinced by attending a few Sabbath evening meetings in the city of Sabadell. In El Mensajero de la Verdad he read of the evils of wine and tobacco, so gave them both up. In the face of great opposition, he accepted the truth, his wife and other relatives doing all in their power to keep him from taking the step. But Christ gained the victory, and he is now rejoicing in the light. Two or three days after making his decision, he lost his position, because of the Sabbath. But his courage is good. Last Monday he walked twenty miles to spend the day in study with us.

On the second day of this month [August] three souls were buried with their Lord in baptism, and four or five others are planning to be baptized next Sabbath.

Times are hard in Spain at present, and as provisions are dear, there is much suffering. We are anxiously watching the signs of the end about us, and are determined to be instruments in God's hand for hastening that glad, yet solemn day. Pray for this needy field.
