Lodz, Russia

By D. P. GAEDE

WHILE the terror is yet on in this country, the work of God can not be stopped, thank the Lord. In the midst of all the troubles, we have more freedom than ever before. The government has proclaimed through the papers that the Seventh-day Adventists, of whom there are three thousand in this country, have the same liberty as have other denominations, and has advised the governors to regulate matters accordingly.

I am now in a city of four hundred thousand, holding meetings, with the permission of the mayor, in a city hall. The police send soldiers to protect us. This is the first time we have ever experienced the like here. The Lord has done great things for us, and to him be all the praise. From one to two hundred attend our meetings.

The time since we left America has passed quickly. Next spring it will be seven years, but it does not seem like more than one or two years. My wife is now in America, visiting her parents. She will return in April. Her health was poor, and we thought it would be better for her to have a change of climate for a year. Our two oldest girls are attending school in Germany. So I am alone here. D. P. GAEDE.
