H. R. SALISBURY

By H. R. Salisbury

England

We had a good time in the South England Conference during the week of prayer, which closed a week ago. I was able during the holidays to visit all the churches and companies in the South England Conference, and I found things in a most encouraging condition. I saw many new interests springing up, and also found the older companies taking hold anew.

We will have our general meeting March 9-13.

This last quarter alone our tithe was seven hundred and thirty-five pounds two shillings and seven pence, as against four hundred and fifty-seven pounds nineteen shillings and ten pence of last year. We began the second quarter nineteen pounds in debt, and we closed the year with a net gain of four hundred and ninety-seven pounds twelve shillings and nine pence.

Also, we have bought two new tents for our summer campaign. The large tithe was a surprise to us, and the committee was greatly pleased when the report was placed before it. This means that we shall be able to enter the field more aggressively in 1906 than ever before. We hope to put four new tent companies into the field, in places where the truth has never gone, and also to keep up the interest in places which we have been developing. Everything seems to point to the fact that 1906 will be a far more prosperous year, both in church-membership and in finances, than we have ever enjoyed.

We have added Brethren McCord and Gauterau to our staff of workers in the south, and are also arranging to take our proportion of young men from the training college during the holidays. Some will finish their studies at the college, and we shall be able to take our share of these as regular laborers.
