Singapore, East Indies
By R. P. Montgomery
THE work is onward in Singapore and in the rest of the Malaysian Mission field. On Sabbaths we have meetings in three languages,—English, Chinese, and Malay. These meetings are well attended, and many are taking a deep interest in the truth. In Singapore we have a few young men from Borneo who have come to us to learn more about the soon coming of our Saviour. One man has come from the island of Moa, off the west coast of the Malay Peninsula. He is very zealous for the cause of Christ. Thus the message of salvation is getting a foothold in these islands of heathenism and the false prophet. We have a fine class of young people whom we shall train and put into active missionary work. Just a ride through some of the busy streets of Singapore, jammed with people of a hundred languages and divers sorts of religions, pushing their way on in all directions, apparently aimlessly,—this is enough to inspire any consecrated Christian with a desire to do all he can to direct their feet into the narrow path that leads to Christ our Lord, which means eternal life. O, the millions of people in the Malaysian Mission field, of which Singapore is the headquarters, who, steeped in ignorance and bowing the knee to the false prophet, are only waiting for the messengers of life to bear them the glad tidings of salvation and set them free. What are nine foreign workers and a few native helpers to fifty million people, over a hundred languages, and nearly every heathen religion on earth? May God inspire brave hearts in the home lands to consecrate their lives to this needy field.
