FROM ABROAD

Letters from the fields indicate the interest with which workers abroad are watching for news from the General Conference. In every land there is an expectation that the General Conference will give a new impetus to missionary efforts in the destitute fields.GCB May 27, 1909, page 186.14

Elder B. L. Anderson, writing from Amoy, China, reports an interesting visit to their out-stations, and adds: “May God bless you all richly in the Conference meetings, we pray.”GCB May 27, 1909, page 186.15

From Lima, Peru, Elder A. N. Allen writes that he has just had the privilege of baptizing six fine young people, of whom five are now out in the canvassing work. “As far as the field is concerned,” he says, “the harvest is overripe, the fruit is beginning to fall; we are gathering what we can with the workers and strength we have.” He adds in closing: “Yes, think of us during the Conference, and determine something good for us in the way of more laborers. We will remember you in our prayers.”GCB May 27, 1909, page 186.16

Elder E. Pilquist, formerly of China, now on the sick list at College View, Neb., writes: “We have daily prayer for the General Conference and for the advancement of the cause of God.”GCB May 27, 1909, page 186.17

We might quote from other letters, but these will serve to suggest how the thoughts of the workers turn toward the General Conference with prayer that the Lord of the harvest may send forth more laborers into all the whitening fields.GCB May 27, 1909, page 186.18
