THE FRENCH-SPANISH FIELD.
By B. G. Wilkinson
In the last six months since our Swiss camp-meeting, the Lord has blessed the laborers in the French-Spanish field. Nearly all have seen fruit of their labors. At Valence, France, where Brother Badaut has been laboring, fifteen have accepted the Sabbath truth, ten of whom are waiting to be baptized. I have just received a letter from Thiers, France, where Brother Blaizat, who is a bookkeeper in a firm of that city, and who gives only a small portion of his time to the distribution of papers, etc., is working. He states that a family has accepted the truth, and that others are interested. In Italy, where Brother Curdy has been preaching the message, eighteen have joined themselves to us. This causes great rejoicing in the Italian field, which was losing ground. We have now in training two young men, whom we hope to send to Italy to establish the work there. Fruits have also been seen of the work in Switzerland. At Lausanne three or four have recently accepted the message, and a good interest exists among those not of our faith. This is a growing church. At Neuchatel five or six have been baptized into the truth. May the Lord continue the work, and send more laborers to carry the blessings of a crucified Saviour to sinful men.
