England

By JOSEPH BRANDT

LEEDS.—We all feel grateful for the variety of talent and workers with which we have recently been blessed.

July 19 Elder Olsen came and spent the Sabbath and Sunday with this church, to the profit of all. His experience of many years in the third angel’s message was related in part with the exposition of Bible truth, which was as the householder that bringeth forth out of his treasures things new and old.

The next Sabbath Brother M. E. Olsen was with us, his message bearing a little more on the gospel of health. He was also with us at the meeting of the Good Health League. It was said here that this was the best meeting yet of its kind.

The Sabbath after that Elder Altman spent with his children in the truth. We had a quarterly meeting, and three were baptized. Both Elder Altman and the church enjoyed the twenty-four-hour visit.

Sabbath evening, July 10, Brother and Sister Castle came and held the first session of the Sabbath-school convention. Jesus was present, according to his promise, and a profitable evening was spent. Again we had two sessions on Sabbath day, which were enjoyed by all; and the co-operation of all was manifested to carry out a plan on foot to start another Sabbath or Sunday-school elsewhere in the city, bearing in mind the words of Jesus, “Work while it is day, for the night cometh when no man can work.”

Again Sunday morning we held another meeting, in which the Spirit of the Lord had free course.

We are enjoying the work in this place, for there is so much of it. We praise the Lord that he is raising our daughter from a long and serious illness of nearly five months. God has kept her and the rest of us all this time without the thought of murmuring, but constantly trusting that Jesus doeth all things well.
