Italy

ROME.—We are enjoying the work here very much, and the Lord has surely gone on before to prepare the way for us. We are only waiting for a chance to get an opportunity to fill the openings of God's providences. But while we are waiting, we are working, and already begin to see some results of our work, as has been noted in previous reports.

A short time ago I made a trip to northern Italy, and while there baptized another candidate, an intelligent young lady whom we feel sure will be of some value to us in our future work. I also met a young officer of the Salvation Army, who had read some of our literature, such as “Great Controversy,” and a few tracts. I had a talk with him on the Sabbath question, and on his duty with respect to it. A short time after I returned home, he wrote me a letter, saying that he was about convinced of the truth, but needed instruction on a few points. I communicated with our young workers farther north, and had them help him; and a few days ago I received a good letter from him, stating that he had come clearly out into

the light, that he was going to Milano to resign from the army, and to live out the truth. He is an excellent young man, very intelligent, and being a native, speaks the language fluently. It has been only two years since his conversion from Catholicism. If he stands the test at Milano, I think of bringing him to Rome in order that he may receive the training and instruction that I shall give this winter to a few others who will be here. We shall have these young men who attend school here canvass in Rome, and with what they earn thus, and a little help that we may need to give them, the expenses will be met. There are other interesting cases developing, but I shall speak more particularly of them as they progress further in learning the truth.
