THE CAUSE IN ENGLAND.

By John Norton Loughborough

WE are happy to report progress in this mission. Although my last reports made mention of what the SIGNS OF THE TIMES was accomplishing, other labors are not neglected. Since last reporting, we have learned of several more who have commenced obedience to the truth, and of others almost persuaded.

When Bro. Andrews called for one thousand copies of the SIGNS per week to be used in this mission, it was no hasty move, but was made after prayerful, and careful deliberation. We knew it involved work to use properly these papers, and it was never designed that they should take the place of other efforts in the mission.

It has taken a little time and care to get new hands trained to this business, but that is now so far accomplished that the one thousand papers can be well cared for, and I be left free to enter the preaching field almost wholly. We are very thankful to our American brethren for what they have done in furnishing the papers, which are a great auxiliary to the work.

We hope it may be their pleasure to continue the papers, until such time as publishing shall be commenced here.

I go to-night to Bâle, Switzerland to spend two weeks. I desire to have an opportunity of prayer and council with our dear Bro. Andrews. I expect to return here about May 26, and immediately prepare for a series of meetings, either with the tent or without, in some new field.

Brethren pray for us that God may give success to his truth. J. N. LOUGHBOROUGH.
