France

By B. G. Wilkinson

PARIS.—We have just completed a compilation of statistics of the field since I came here, and find that in July, 1901, when I arrived at this place, there were 451 Sabbath keepers. The report for the last quarter gives 571. Our tithe for this year is 25,000 francs. Our school now numbers seventeen. The canvassing work is the most encouraging feature in this field. Two years ago, when a general agent and two canvassers came to Paris, they could not sell a thing; but we were delighted two or three days ago when one of our students sold four copies of the paper. They are now selling as high as twelve or thirteen a day. Yesterday my wife, with her limited knowledge of French, sold twelve copies. Our meetings open to-morrow night. We have the promise of a large attendance. B. G. WILKINSON.
