Constantinople, Turkey.
By L. R. Conradi
I REACHED here safely October 20, and have held a very good five-days’ meeting at Bardizag, Asia Minor, where I baptized eight persons on Sunday. Sister Baharian acted as interpreter, but as she had no regular passport, she could not accompany me to another church in that region. I had no difficulty, as I have a Turkish passport. To-morrow I leave for Smyrna, where I intend to remain a few days. There are several believers there. Then I expect to go to Jerusalem, and to remain in Palestine until Brother Jesperson arrives. He sails from Genoa, Italy, soon. I will spend the first part of December in Egypt. Elder Baharian has been refused the permission to leave for Egypt, but we are trying now to have him go to Smyrna. All are agreed that he must try to get away, so that he can actively engage in the work. When Brother Krum comes here, he can visit the Sabbath-keepers, baptize the believers, and establish the churches. Our German Union Conference shows quite an increase again. During the last quarter about one hundred and fifty were baptized and received into the church. The work is advancing all along the line. L. R. CONRADI.
