Reformation of Life

By R. W. Munson

THE father of a Baba-Chinese family had been bitterly opposed to Christianity; but when on his death-bed, he cried to God to have mercy on him, and to forgive and save him. He found peace with God, and exhorted his family.

In his death, light broke into the home. Members of the family were reconciled to enemies, and all began earnestly to seek the Lord, and to keep the Sabbath in compliance with the father's wishes. Two men and two women of the family have been baptized.

Thus the Lord is calling hearts from among these mixed multitudes. At a recent baptismal service, three different peoples were represented among the candidates, the Baba-Chinese (a mixture of the Chinese and Malay who speak the Malay tongue), the Menadomese, and the Eurasians. We see that it is not a surface work when the Spirit of the Lord converts these hearts. They give up tobacco and liquor, and keep God's Sabbath conscientiously.

Bible workers and colporters are entering the work, and we are publishing in Romanized Malay, Arabic Malay, Chinese, and Romanized Sudanese.
