Tokyo.— We have had more tokens of the blessing and presence of the Lord during the past few months than ever before in our work here. One young man and a young woman were baptized this week. Two more young men in Tokyo have decided this month to obey. Two young men are keeping the Sabbath in Wakamatsu, and another is waiting until he finishes his school in the spring, having failed to gain his parents’ permission to leave school. We shall set these at work as far as and as soon as we are able.

A young lady in the mission school, having read our paper, has decided to obey; she also has a friend who is deeply interested. In her last letter— she has seen none of our workers — she announces her decision to leave school, not knowing how her parents may treat her. She has given herself to the Lord, to obey all his commandments. I could mention other cases where our paper has awakened an interest.

We are of good courage. There are many interested ones among those who people are attending our English classes, and among those for whom our native brethren are working, as well as among the readers of our paper. We shall be deeply interested in the proceedings of the General Conference, and we have confidence that our field will not be forgotten when the needs of the cause are considered.
