Progress of the Work in Hankow

DR. A. G. LARSON, writing from Hankow, the Chicago of China, speaks of the good work being accomplished in that section of the field. He says: "I am glad to say that the work in Hupeh province is onward. At our general meeting in Hankow recently there were present about one hundred of our own people from different parts of the province. On account of the small size of the chapel, we could not make much effort for outsiders at this meeting. Most of the instruction was designed to help our own people to better understand the principal points of the truth. At the close of the meeting, Elder Cottrell baptized twenty-seven. Many more desired to be baptized, but it was thought better that they study the truth still further. We have now secured a new chapel in Hankow, located in about the center of the Chinese part of the city. It is the largest and best we have ever had in Hankow, and we trust and pray that results may be in proportion to the extra expense. There is a very good interest. The better class of people are attending the meetings."
