Albin Karlsson, ’18, writes from Lovhall, Lerga, Sweden: “I had to leave India this summer because of sickness. Am feeling quite well, but cannot talk, only whisper, so am at present in a Sanatorium. But thanks be to the Lord, He is good." E .' G. Hansell, '20, Armstrong, B.C., Canada, w rites: "W e are holding special services in another of my fields and hav ing a good time. Indifference is our greatest obstacle. People do not seem to care. Pray for us." Elmer A. Shumard is on the field in Ore gon as pastor of a circuit with five preaching points. He is trying earnestly to ring out the real old Gospel. G. B. Bolton, ’19, writes from Holden- ville, Okla., as follow s: “I am just enter ing on my third year as Associational Missionary of Delaware Baptist A ssocia tion. We have just closed the most suc cessful year’s work in the history o f our Association. We have six counties in our Association and over 50 churches at this time. Yet there are many communi ties with several hundred people where we have no church nor Sunday school. Opportunities for service here are lim it less. ■The Lord has wonderfully blessed our work so far and has blessed me per sonally in every way. My work consists r f holding evangelistic meetings, supply ing pastorless churches, locating pastors and building new church houses.” J Edward Kahale, ’21, sends this word .from Kaneohe, Oahu, T. H.: “Both Mrs. Kahale and myself are busy in our Lord’s . service. Have had many oppositions in our work but thanks be unto God and our Lord Jesus Christ for many victories. We are doing church work, Sunday school work and community work. I am pastor of a Hawaiian' church in 'this little town. One Sunday last month, that being our
first month in this field, the Lord gave me eleven souls in our service; yesterday tOct. 16th), He gave me five souls. Glory to H im !” Miss Esther Burhans, ’17, writes from Niraj, S. M. C., Bombay Presidency, India; ‘ We have been having some interesting temperance .meetings in our city. We have heard it talked of so much at home that we get rather weary of the subject. But here it is becom ing a national ques tion and it is the H indoos and not the Christians who are asking for it. Miss Campbell, a m issionary from the north, has been speaking to our young men and such a hearty response when she held up the pledge cards. It included drink ing and use of opium and the young men wanted to add the use of tobacco too. I believe many of the young men will add this to their other pledge.” Miss Clara Kuehny, ’20, writes from India: “I have gone through nursing in a cholera epidemic. There was very much of that dreaded disease in July and August. Whole villages were nearly w iped out. At present it is fever time, which will last through November. It is likely due to the mosquito and to the stagnant water. It has been raining very much this year. The rainy season should be over by September 15th. If it rains too much the crop w ill be a failure. Last year the rainfall was insufficient and there has been fam ine in some districts. If there is a failure or even partial fail ure this year, the fam ine w ill become general. The medical work on the com pound is in my care now for these weeks. Therefore I am especially interested in the fever proposition because I am re sponsible. We are in the devil’s territory without a mistake, but the Lord is m ighty and still rules.”
