Who Knows?—The Scots were once cannibals, and the Britons a mere horde of half-naked savages, living in rude huts, and clad in skins, sunk in ignorance and degradation.

All are of good courage, and have faith that God will continue to prosper the work."

A LETTER from Brother Chas. T. Everson, of Rome, Italy, says: "The work is onward here, and the Spirit of the Lord is manifesting itself in a special way in the preaching, so that some of even the harder hearts are being penetrated by the truths of these last days. The way in which I see the Spirit working in the meetings gives me great hope of a grand work for God in this dark land. When we keep close to the Lord and live under the shadow of the Almighty, experiencing the warm beating of the great Heart of love, we must see things begin to move; for melted things must move."
