NEWFOUNDLAND

By H. J. Farnan

ST. JOHN'S.—Since my last report the work here has prospered under the blessing of God. May 29 four persons were buried with their Lord in baptism, and arose to walk in newness of life. These are all engaged in the canvassing work, and give promise of making it a success. Already there has been delivered $289.24 worth of books, and $5.48 worth of tracts. Fifteen hundred copies of the Signs of the Times have been delivered, fourteen hundred of which have been sold. Fifty copies are now being taken weekly, a part of which are being sold to regular readers.

Elder H. C. Giles, his wife, and a young man have gone to Grand Bank, Fortune Bay, South Shore, where an interest has been awakened. They write encouragingly of the prospects there. Two canvassers are working in Notre Dame Bay, and two more in Bonavista Bay, North Shore. Soon my wife and I, with three or four other workers, will be in Topsail, Conception Bay, with our new tent. By looking over the map of Newfoundland all will readily see where the workers are situated. We bespeak the prayers of all our people that God may richly bless the efforts of all our laborers to the salvation of many souls and the strengthening of the faith of believers.

During the last winter there have been many marked instances of God's special blessing in answering prayer, and we look for more all the way along till Jesus comes. The church here has been greatly strengthened—spiritually, financially, and numerically. All are of good courage in the Lord, peace and harmony reign in our midst, and never was I more thankful to be associated with a people than I am with the people here. My wife reached here two weeks ago, and we are busy preparing for the tent effort. H. J. FARNAN.
