QUEBEC

By D. T. Bourdeau

I AM in the field again, having enjoyed the late General Conference, and engaged in the work of either getting out or revising matter for tracts for general circulation among the French. I attended the last part of the Quebec Conference, held at Coaticook, Quebec, and was encouraged by the spirit of union, love, and courage that prevailed among the believers, old and young. It was a pleasure to meet with many whom I had not seen for twenty years, some of whom received present truth at the time of a discussion in which I took part twenty years ago. God then gave a glorious victory to the truth, and it is indeed reviving to me still to see good fruits of this and other efforts made a fifth of a century ago. We are so much nearer the consummation of our hope, which is big with immortality, and everything that tends to encourage us in our pilgrimage.

I feel more than ever impressed by the Spirit of God to press the battle to the gate of the powers of darkness, expecting that God will give us further victories on new, virgin soil, and secure, by our humble instrumentality, souls, wrenched from Satan's kingdom, as trophies of Christ's power to save. Pray that our expectation may be realized, to the joy of saints, angels, the Saviour, and the eternal Father. D. T. BOURDEAU.
