Our Work in Singapore

By F. A. Detamore

A LITTLE over a week ago I arrived in Singapore from British North Borneo, after an absence of nearly a month. On the way to Sandakan, where Brother and Sister Montgomery and Brother Chan are located, we spent a day and a night at Jesselton, enjoying a visit with Brother Wong, our Chinese brother at that place. We studied some points of truth with him, among which was the subject of tithing. On my return trip I saw him again, and he expressed his joy in accepting the different points of truth, and was planning to pay his tithe. This illustrates how anxious a true child of God is to obey, when he knows the Master's will. This brother has moved to Labuan and purchased a plantation, so that he can support his family and keep the Sabbath. He gave

up a lucrative business when he accepted the truth, and has since refused large salaries because he could not accept them and keep the Sabbath. His friends say he is going mad, but he replies by telling them of the truth in which his heart finds joy and peace.
