Well-Attended Meetings Notwithstanding Conditions of Unrest—Native Recruits to the Working Force
LEAVING Shanghai in company with Elder R. F. Cottrell, enjoying a pleasant trip up the Yang-tse River, we reached Hankow in time for the Hupeh general meeting.
There were sixty-five present at the meeting, eighteen of whom were Chinese native workers. Three of these are evangelists, three Bible women, and ten are colporteurs. The meetings were of a deep spiritual nature, and all hearts united in renewed consecration to service in the cause of Christ.
The last Sabbath, the attendance increased to one hundred. At the close of a consecration service, Brother Frederick Lee was ordained to the gospel ministry, and twenty-seven were buried with their Lord in baptism.
The two mission homes for our workers are nearing completion. They are well arranged and neat in appearance. The laborers present at this meeting were Dr. A. G. Larson, S. G. White, F. Lee, R. F. Cottrell, the native evangelists, and the writer.
