"C' RNEST G. Gray, writing from Argen- ■^tine, S. A., says: “We have just held our annual conference at Rosario, (renting a theatre). During the three Carnival holidays, amidst the orgies of this time of license, the Word toas ministered'at 8:30 a. m., 10 a. m., 3 :30 p. m., and 8 p. m., to over 500 people and on Sunday night the Gospel was preached to Over 650 people. In spite of the bad time occasioned by the \yar and the failure of the wheat and maize, over 380 came to Rosario from all parts of Argentina, and even from Uru guay, and these, with the church in Rosario of over 130, filled the hall three times daily. Among the believers in the Argen tine there is a real desire to know the truths so ably expounded month by month by “The King’s Business” which is a great help to those engaged in'work and those who have to go to business and have not the time to devote to very exhaustive re search of the Scriptures. “Not only among the Brethren, of whom there are over 1000 in .the Argentina, but among all those who are ministering the truth of the Lord’s coming, there is a desire to know more of the blessed hope, as affairs in Europe during the last two years have done much to waken the peo ple’s mind to the errors of postmillen- nialism and what may be expected from ‘positivism.’” Rev. and Mrs. H. C. Bower left on Mon day, February 12, for America by way of Hong Kong. They will spend most of their furlough period "near Los Angeles, where Mr. Bower will take work in the University of Southern California. Miss Marsh and Miss Wagy left for home by the same steamer .—The Message, Singa pore.
I ndia .— Miss Anna Hanneman of the Mennonite Mission, Hughestown, Hyder abad, Deccan, India, writing, near the end of last year, says: “Until August of this year, language study was my all important work, and there is yet much to be learned. In August I was privileged to take charge of the Boarding School at this station. Had an enrollment of seventyeight and a num ber of day scholars. A new country, a new people, a new language, a new work, and many perplexing problems made their appearance, especially during the first few weeks and even now this is still true. The work, however, went on fairly, well until about>the middle of October when our place was suspected of being plague- infected, and we were advised to vacate. This we did immediately, which necessi- a,ted the sending home of those children that hive friends. With the remaining children we moved back to Hughestown, the place which we had left about a year previously, since-we were all suffering with malaria and the place is noted for that. We, however, chose the lesser of two evils. A few weeks later we called back a number of the school children and re-opened school, but since the disease has not yet been checked, we have not the full number of scholars, since at such times it is not safe to have too many. Many in our vicinity are falling victims to the dreadful epidemic plague. It is stated that on the average about a hundred die daily within the limits of our city Hyderabad. The disease does its work quickly. Thus far the Lord has spared us all and our whole mission, for which to Him alone we bring honor and praise. So many about us are daily sink ing into a Christless grave. O how sad ! The Lord has an object in permitting such
