LUXOR, EGYPT.

By Louis Passebois

[THIS word from the land of Egypt comes to the Mission Board:—]
We have been especially benefited these last days by the blessing of the Lord. I recently made a visit to a native minister who had invited me to spend a week or two with him. After the first week, the interest of the people was such that it seemed best to stay and work among them. So we have rented rooms in his house, and will remain for a time.
Another minister and also a teacher have become interested through the influence of this man. The minister acknowledged that we are right on the subject of baptism, and said that he was also nearly convinced of the truth concerning the Sabbath and the nature of man. He has resigned his position as pastor. Of course this has made a stir, but we trust in the Lord to take care of all that, and rejoice to see this man accept the truth. He is also much interested in the medical and temperance work, and pleads for a good Christian doctor to come here, especially one who can treat eyes, and operate upon them in necessary cases. In a short time, I believe, a doctor could be not only self-supporting, but could support several other workers besides. I desire to make a strong plea for Egypt; for I am sure a good and great work could be done here by a doctor. Medical and educational work are much needed in Egypt. The greater the darkness, the more need there is of light-bearers. We would make the Macedonian plea, “Come over, . . . and help us.”
