A Cheering Word from the Philippines

CONCERNING the work of Brother Floyd Ashbaugh, who went to the Philippines at the beginning of this year, Elder I. H. Evans writes:—
"Brother Ashbaugh is selling books with excellent success. He has broken all records in the East. In a letter to Brother Finster he says: 'I think I have the finest section of territory to be found in the islands. People stop me on the street and ask if they can not buy the book. Men take the prospectus away from me, and go and get signers without my saying a word. They call their friends from the busy offices, and urge them to put down their names. Influential men write notes to their friends, which always means an order. God's Spirit is working. This is the only explanation I can give.'
"Concerning Brother Ashbaugh, Brother Finster says: 'I am sure you will be glad to hear of Brother Ashbaugh's work. I am glad I can give you a good report of his work since he went to Iloilo. The first week he took orders to the amount of 247.40 pesos, the second week 238, and the third week 324.50. I think this is splendid. He seems of the best of courage, and is coming in contact with some nice young men.'"
