Missionary Work in England.
From a private letter from Bro. Drew, Hull, England, dated Aug. 19, we take the following extracts:— I am happy to say that our work here is prospering in the hands of God. Our work amongst the English and the Scandinavians is of the deepest interest. There has been a lack of reading matter, which, thank God, is now well supplied, although our demand increases as we see where we can judiciously circulate the papers. Since we have been here we can say, “Hitherto hath the Lord helped us.” We are continually cheered by the deep interest taken to inquire if these things are so. God seems to be working upon the hearts of the people, although, we see many who say that a belief in Jesus is enough, and yet fail to see what Jesus would have them do. See Luke 6 : 46. We do not find this such an easy field as America, but I can assure you that there are some here who love to talk about the third angel’s message. We have much to encourage us; and the best of all is that God is with us. Our visit among the Scandinavians every Monday morning is a feast. I very much love to visit them; they seem so grateful for what you do for them. I can assure you that I have no language to express my gratitude to God for giving me a place in his vineyard. I will work with all my strength and might to save precious souls for whom Jesus died. I believe the day is close at hand when Jesus will see of the travail of his soul and be satisfied; and I hope that we shall all toil on faithfully, for in so doing I believe that we can hasten it. We often remember you at Oakland and elsewhere, and we pray that we may all meet when Jesus comes. Remember me to all the tract and missionary workers.
