BROTHER S. A. WELLMAN tells of an effort being carried on at Simla, north India, which he states still continues with excellent interest. Eight have thus far definitely taken their stand for the truth, and are preparing for baptism. He says they have encountered the most bitter opposition, “but God leads in every work that directs men and women to the study of His word; and that which was done to drive men away, only drove the honest in heart to a more friendly attitude, and created a desire to know the whole message.
“One person was much troubled. She had some years back severed her connection with Rome, being convinced that God was not in that faith; and when the Sabbath truth came to her, the conflict was as sharp as before, and finally she decided not to see any of us, but to study and pray over the question for herself. One of the last words we heard from her was, ‘I am coming through all right’; and although opposers are not letting her rest, yet we believe that, trusting in God, she will gain the victory and decide to obey Him fully.
“All together, the work in Simla is very promising. Among a large class, there is a very friendly feeling; and we believe that in the next year or two a good, strong church will be established there.”
