Florida Mission Work at Orlando
By C. P. Whitford
ORLANDO.—A series of meetings was held at Orlando, Fla., beginning Nov. 8, 1901. December 8 I was left to follow up the interest. My work closed April 30, 1902. I conducted eighty-nine Bible readings, with an attendance of from fifteen to twenty-five. The interest increased till the close. I made 114 visits, gave away 132 periodicals and 4,862 pages of tracts, obtained one subscription for the REVIEW, secured a club of sixteen copies of the Signs of the Times, sold eight Bibles, six copies of “Helps to Bible Study,” and two copies of “Looking unto Jesus.” As a result of the work done, nine persons are now keeping the Sabbath, and twelve others are interested. Two have said they believe that the seventh day is the Sabbath. I confidently expect that they will have the courage of their convictions, and walk in the light which God in his love and mercy has so graciously caused to shine upon their pathway. For the measure of health and strength which the Lord has given me with which to labor, I feel indeed thankful. I also16rejoice, and praise God for the harvest of souls which has crowned the efforts put forth. C. P. WHITFORD.
