The Work in Italy

By L. Zecchetto

It has been my privilege during the past year to baptize thirteen new believers in this land of the Papacy. One has been received by letter, making fourteen members gained this last year.
It was a blessed occasion last week in Pisa when we saw over ten thousand persons gathered on the bank of Arno River to witness a baptismal service. Among them were many priests. And while I was baptizing, Brother Lippolis spoke to that large gathering from a boat, concerning our work. It was a splendid afternoon, and we were glad to witness for God to such a large audience.
The week before, a scene something like this took place on the bank of the same Arno River in Florence, where I baptized a French teacher of languages in an international school of languages in Florence.
I have encouraging reports from our workers in Naples, Gravina, Genoa, and other places. Our courage is as good as ever. We ask the readers of the REVIEW to remember the work and the workers in Italy in their prayers.
