England

LONDON.—We have nothing but words of encouragement to present with reference to the work here. While there are many difficulties, yet the Lord is still helping us to overcome these, and we are all of good courage in him.

We sent out our first missionary to British East Africa a few days ago. Brother Peter Nyambo, a young colored man who has been in attendance at our school here for the last two years, left us for Germany, and from that country he will sail, in company with another young man, to German East Africa. From there one of our German brethren, Brother Enns, will accompany him across the border into British East Africa, and look up a site for our mission station, and establish it. In the meantime we will prepare some other helpers for the work in that field, and send them on as soon as possible. We are now doing all we can to raise funds to carry on this work, and I believe we shall not have any serious difficulties in this matter. Our brethren are interested in this work, and will respond very well.

We have just taken up an offering in the interests of our institutions and people in California that have suffered from the earthquake. This was rather hastily done, and I am not prepared to say how liberally our brethren have responded; but it will at least be a token of our interest and sympathy.

As yet we have not succeeded in securing a suitable location for our institutions. We thought that we had been successful, but at the very last moment matters developed that decided us against taking the place, and now we are looking for something that will be more suitable.

We have just succeeded in securing a place to hold our British Union Conference early in August. It is in the northern suburbs of London. We hope to have a large attendance of our people at this meeting. E. E. ANDROSS.
