Spain

By Frank S. Bond

Our general meeting for the believers in Spain was held at Barcelona the last of August. The churches and various groups were all represented at this annual gathering. Elders A. G. Daniells, L. R. Conradi, L. P. Tieche, and P. Meyer, Brother W. E. Hancock, and Brother L. E. Borle (representing the publishing work) were also with us.
This was Elder Daniells's first visit to Spain, and our Spanish brethren were very glad for this privilege of becoming acquainted with him, and hearing him tell how God has blessed in this great movement in other lands.
God blessed his servants in the presentation of his word, and nearly every one in attendance renewed his consecration to the service of the Master. We feel that a new impetus was given to the work in this field.
On the closing day of our conference four dear souls followed their Lord in baptism. Since then, two others have taken this important step. Including these, I had the privilege of baptizing twelve during the third quarter. We realize that this is very few, but are thankful that this much has been accomplished.
We believe that brighter days are ahead for the work in Spain. Our working force is small, but we are determined to let God work through us for the salvation of souls.
Since our general meeting, several persons in different parts of the country have begun the observance of God's holy Sabbath.
Brother J. L. Brown is working hard to build up the canvassing work. He has met with a number of difficulties, but much has been accomplished. Much of the material with which he has been compelled to labor has not been of the most substantial character. If four or six young men from America would volunteer to join our book force in Spain, there is no doubt but that they would be a great blessing to the work in this field. We have several good books, and "Practical Guide" should be ready within a few days.
It has already been demonstrated that this is a self-supporting field for canvassers of the right kind. We ask the readers of the REVIEW to unite with us in praying that the Lord of the harvest will raise up more laborers for this part of his vineyard. FRANK S. BOND.
