Prince Edward Island

By J. Greer Hanna

CHARLOTTETOWN.—Since my last report we have been having varied experiences. In the way in which the forces of evil are manifest, we see evidence that the Lord is working on the hearts of many. Two more honest souls have taken their stand to obey the Lord and keep his commandments; one of them is the city missionary of the Presbyterian church, to whom I referred in my last report. The other is passing through the fire of trial; but she is being refined, and her confidence in God is increasing. Her husband has forbidden her to attend any of our services; but she visits us at our home, when she can find opportunity, and we improve the time by encouraging her in the Lord. She has a good supply of reading-matter, and is a diligent student of the Bible.
There is much opposition in various ways to the work, as the people are slow to investigate for themselves, and are perfectly satisfied with their present condition. Yet we have a goodly number at our services, and many who have been following the teaching right along are becoming more and more convinced. We hope to see them take their stand to obey the Lord.
Our health lectures every Monday night have been well attended, and many who have reformed their habits of living and taken the treatments are enjoying the blessing of renewed health and vigor.
We have been conducting a hygienic cooking class in our home, with good results. The members of the class subscribe for the Good Health for one year, and we give them a series of lessons in cooking. There is a good interest, and we intend to continue this work, as we believe from what we have seen that such instruction will open the way for the whole message. We distribute the Signs, and have a goodly number of interested readers.
We expect to use the tabernacle all winter, as we find we can keep it quite comfortable with good fires, and it will be less expensive than to rent a hall.
We are of good courage in the work, and mean, with God's help, to lift up the standard of truth, that souls may be led to follow our beloved Master. Pray for us and the work in this part of the vineyard. J. GREER HANNA.
