CALCUTTA.—I returned last week from Burma after a stay of a month. The outlook is encouraging. Over four hundred subscriptions for the Oriental Watchman have been taken in Rangoon, and two hundred copies of “Christ’s Object Lessons” sold there, besides a large number of health books. The meetings which Brother Meyers has been holding were well attended, and an earnest spirit of inquiry was manifested on the part of the people. Two sisters are keeping the Sabbath. One interesting case is that of a Burmese sister whose mother was baptized by Judson. About two years ago she began the observance of the Sabbath solely from her own study of the Bible. She tried to get her relatives and others to keep it with her, but they opposed her. She supposed that she was the only one keeping the Sabbath. She had told the Lord that she was going to keep it if it cost her her life. When she found that we taught the Sabbath, she came, overjoyed, to meet us, and drank in the truth eagerly. I think that her experience is one of the most remarkable evidences of God’s leading. I believe this sister will be a great help in the work among the Burmese. J. L. Shaw.
