Scotland

By W. A. Westworth

The second annual meeting of the Scottish Mission was held in Edinburgh, August 9-14, and was a season of blessing to all.

Reports from various parts of the field showed reason for great gratitude to our Heavenly Father for his leading, and for the prosperity that has attended the work during the past conference year.

Resolutions were passed expressing thankfulness to God for his many blessings, advocating the more earnest study of the Testimonies, regarding the faithful payment of the Lord's tithe, recognizing the value of the Review and our local papers, and urging a wide circulation for these means of grace, raising our part of the fund for the London School library, and regarding the circulation of Present Truth and Good Health.

At the request of the British Union and North England Conferences, Sister Edie was transferred to the North England Conference as a Bible worker. Elder Knight and his wife were received from the South England Conference as help that was greatly needed, and we assure them of a hearty welcome to the field.

Ministerial credentials were granted to W. A. Westworth and W. Knight; ministerial license to W. B. Scott; and missionary licenses to D. P. Miller, A. Monteith, E. Aplin, J. Nethery, Miss F. B. Cude, and Mrs. Knight.

The nominating committee presented the following report which was unanimously accepted: For Superintendent, W. A. Westworth; Secretary and Treasurer, F. B. Cude; Advisory Committee, W. A. Westworth, W. B. Scott, E. S. Taylor, E. Aplin, C. Gunn; Canvassing Agent, W. B. Scott.

During the session we were favored with the presence of Elders O. A. Olsen, W. A. Spicer, and E. E. Andross, besides the workers in the field.

There was a good attendance, and although at the last general meeting there was but one place represented, at this meeting we were glad to see faces from at least ten different towns and cities. So we thank the Master, and go forward into the new year with renewed zeal and determination to press forward in his might, knowing that, however hard may be the struggle, victory awaits us.

All went from the meeting with a deeper sense of the need of entire consecration, and a willingness to follow where the Captain of our salvation may lead.
