THE work the past year among the women of Manchuria has indeed been pleasant. I would not exchange places with any one in the States. There is an eagerness to learn of God here that is not found in the home land. How one's heart burns with a longing to do more for them!
I have a class of eight here in Mukden, who meet in the chapel twice a week for Bible study. Some of them have been coming about a year, and have expressed a desire for baptism. It would do your heart good to note the interest they manifest, and how they appreciate the effort put forth to help them understand the Scriptures. Shortly after we opened the series of meetings in the chapel, it seemed as though it would be difficult for me to continue giving them more than one study a week. But they said: "Is it not possible for you to come twice a week? We are so anxious to have you come and teach us!" Their pathetic faces won; I had not the heart to refuse.

Surely now is the time for us to labor for souls. Remember the women's work in Manchuria.
