South Africa

By Amelia Webster

CAPE TOWN.—While in Kimberley, I was able to distribute much literature in the refugee camps (Dutch). I found many who knew something of Seventh-day Adventists, and were glad to get our reading matter. I held Bible readings with some who read English, and might have done much more if I had had time. I came to Cape Town the first of February to attend the conference school which Elder Hyatt is conducting for ten weeks. We have enjoyed the Bible studies very much; have also had a large class in the study of health principles and simple treatments, as well as one in canvassing. We have finished studying “Christ’s Object-Lessons,” and are now selling it a part of each day.
We have recently been going out on Saturday evenings in Cape Town to sell the South African Sentinel and the Journal of Health. We sometimes dispose of as many as eight hundred papers in a single evening. Our numbers are few, but our courage is good, and we are doing what we can. There are openings on every hand, especially for medical work, and we pray earnestly for laborers to help in this work.
