India

CALCUTTA.—I enjoy my work here very much. There is no better place in the world to live and work for souls. The opportunities are without number. A few days ago I went to Wellington Square to distribute some copies of the Oriental Watchman among the English-speaking natives who congregate there every evening. Hands were stretched out from all directions to obtain a copy, and I soon had none left, so I comforted the people by telling them that I would come again, and bring a larger supply. Then as there were a large number gathered about, I had opportunity to tell them something of the gospel of the kingdom, to which they listened, many of them, I suppose, for the first time. There is a large field here among those who speak English.
