China

By J. N. Anderson

According to previous arrangement, our Bible institute was held at Canton, December 15-30, and it was a very busy and profitable season for us. Every day was fully taken up in Bible study and devotional meetings. Our attendance was not all we could have desired, nor was it what we had hoped for; but all things considered, it was a very good season for us all. All the instruction fell to Brother Wilbur, Dr. Law Keem, and myself; and with our present attainments in the language, it made rather heavy work. All the leading points of our faith were dealt with.

The last Sabbath was full of good things. Two were baptized (both from Amoy), and we all took part in the Lord's supper in the afternoon. Elder Gates was with us on that occasion, he and Brother Caldwell having reached Canton the day before.

I am now on my way to Honan. I hope to reach there about January 23. It is a long and expensive trip. I plan to be back in Canton not later than March 14, and I may reach there February 28. In the latter case, I may meet my brother, at Shanghai, on his way to Hongkong. J. N. ANDERSON.
