Three services were held at the church yesterday, the meetings in the morning and afternoon being for the purpose of Bible instruction. In the evening Elder Richard Conradi, formerly minister to Germany and Russia in the interests of the Adventists of America, gave an exceedingly vivid and interesting talk on his prison experiences in Russia. While preaching in that country he was arrested and immured in a Russian dungeon for several months for preaching doctrines at variance with the teachings of the Greek church. He suffered many hardships before he was eventually released. His talk was more particularly concerning his own personal experiences, but it included as well the results of all his observations regarding Russian prisons and their management. MMM 569.1
