A Note From Malaysia

Brother H. E. Sharp, secretary of the Malaysian Mission, reports the arrival of Miss Yarnell in Singapore, where she takes up school work. He adds this item of news:—

"Two persons have recently accepted the Sabbath. One of them is a Tamil of South India, who began his study of the truth here, and continued it with Brother Duckworth, in Kuala Lumpur, over on the peninsula. The other is a Straits-born Chinaman, a young man who is a clerk in the municipal offices. Last week he decided that he could no longer work on the Sabbath, and applied for freedom from service on that day. He expected to sacrifice the day's pay, and was prepared even to forfeit his position. But the Lord heard prayer, and so directed that he is allowed to work on Sunday instead of Sabbath, without loss even of salary. He is greatly encouraged, as he rightly believes that this is in direct answer to prayer."
