DAYTON.—This city is noted for its clean streets and high buildings. Also two national institutions are located here, the National Cash Register and the National Soldiers' Home. The latter contains five thousand seven hundred inmates, to whom we are not permitted to sell religious literature.

Since my connection with the work here, January 14, eight have been taken into the church, seven of whom I had the pleasure of baptizing in the Miami River. One of these was a young Catholic lady, who now rejoices that she has become acquainted with the Saviour. I have a number to whom Bible studies are given each week, the most interesting of whom are a Scotchman and his wife, who recently came from Scotland to Canada, and from there to this place. They are well educated, and receive the truth understandingly. We trust that erelong they, too, will unite with us. Pray for the work and the one hundred thousand people of this city.

I am just in receipt of a letter from my son, Dr. H. W. Miller, in Shang-tsai, China, saying that he is well, but in spite of his efforts he gets quite lonesome without his companion. Brother Allum and his wife, from Australia, expect to reach him about July 25, then he hopes to let his bowl of rice and chopsticks rest awhile, and try Sister Allum's cooking. How we need more workers there! Brethren, remember Sabbath, June 30. Let us show forth our gratitude to God by swelling the amount of our offering to such a magnitude that our previous offerings will be insignificant in comparison. Why should we put our brethren in so hard a place and let them remain year after year, when the Lord is telling us to hasten his coming? The giving of our means is one of the ways his work in righteousness will be shortened.
