A New Outpost in Szechuen

Another province of China can be checked off from our unentered list. A letter received by the Mission Board from the secretary of the Asiatic Division, C. N. Woodward, brings information that a telegram had just come to Shanghai reporting the arrival in Szechuen of Brethren F. A. Allum and M. C. Warren, presumably accompanied by Mrs. Allum and the children, and Mrs. Warren. Szechuen is one of the westernmost provinces of China; and beyond the range of river steamers four hundred miles of the journey had to be made by house boat up the Yang-tze-kiang. We are thankful for this new outpost far in the Asiatic interior.

Writing from North India, Elder S. A. Wellman sends the word: "We are of good courage, the message is making progress, and the prospects are such that we look for constant advancement in spite of all the enemy can do. All the workers in North India are set to the work of soul winning this year, and we must pass the last year's mark if possible."
