Elder J. H. Krum reports the baptism of nineteen persons during his recent tour through Asia Minor.

Brother G. F. Haylock writes that two of the boys from Brother Evans's school in Bonacca are with him, canvassing in Honduras.

“Christ Our Saviour” has been translated into the Samoan language, and will be printed by the Avondale Press, Cooranbong, New South Wales.

In a recent letter, Mrs. J. N. Anderson reports a school in Hongkong, China, for Chinese boys. There are twelve enrolled. Miss Ida Thompson has the school in charge.

We have word from Paris, France, that the work in the school is progressing. The evening meetings, though not largely attended, are bringing results. One woman, formerly a Catholic, has begun to observe the Sabbath, and others are interested.

Sister Grace M. Kellogg writes from Chandernagore, India: “In my last report the opposition raised by the Hindus had nearly closed my native work in Chandernagore. Since that time it has continued with great persistence, but there are indications now of the darkness giving place to light. There has also come a strong plea for help from Chinsura. A native minister of another denomination who has been keeping the Sabbath for about three years, has secured many openings among the college students there for Bible study, and has many times been to Chandernagore requesting me to answer the call. One Hindu babu has given me the privilege of using his house for holding meetings, and another has offered to board me free while there. An educated Mohammedan has also promised to join the Bible class. It would seem to be a call from God, and by his help and in his strength I trust I shall take up the work in connection with the work in Chandernagore. The young men who have taken their stand for Christ are still rejoicing in his love.”
