Wales

By A. F. Ballenger

On November 28 the Advisory Committee of the Welsh Mission held its first meeting. The council which was held in Cardiff was harmonious in its plans, and a hopeful and enthusiastic spirit was present.
It was decided to name our organized work, “The Gospel Extension Mission of the Seventh-day Adventists of Wales.” Mrs. A. F. Ballenger was chosen secretary and treasurer for the mission.
The Welsh Mission is now organized and prepared for united aggressive work. There are only forty-one members in the field, but there is room for more. Brethren Meredith and Robinson are rejoicing because of the fruit resulting from their work in Pontypridd. Thirteen have declared their decision to be obedient to the testing truth for this time, concerning the Sabbath. There are others who are interested, but how many will remain after the sitting, which usually comes a little later in the meetings, yet remains to be seen. However, an earnest effort is being made to minister life to those souls rather than the mere letter of the law. The greatest obstacle in the way of the progress of the work to-day in Wales is the spiritual weakness of the people who profess the message. We are therefore more anxious for consecrated souls than for numbers.
A. F. Ballenger.
