Adventist Work in Dunedin and Port Chalmers
ELDER A. T. ROBINSON reports a good work being accomplished in the city of Dunedin, New Zealand. He says: “With our mission workers and a few other Sabbath keepers in the city, we organized a church of fifteen members. Since that time three have begun the observance of the Sabbath. We have regularly held the Sabbath school and church services in our mission home. The church has paid £55 14s 11d in tithes, the Sabbath school has donated to missions £3 13s 1½d, and quite an amount has been given by the members for other enterprises. The sales by our workers, mostly small booklets and tracts, amount to £15 19s 11d, and they have received in donations from persons visited £3 10s.” Some meetings have been held also in the town of Port Chalmers, a seaport about eight miles from Dunedin. Here, reports Elder Robinson, a wonderful interest has been awakened, notwithstanding unfavorable circumstances. “Some,” he writes, “are beginning already to keep the Sabbath, others are planning how they can do so, and the meetings and the truth are the topic of conversation all over the town. We are obliged to continue the meetings there also.”
