THE MISSION FIELD
went to Vostina, There we visited
a family who had accepted the truth
some years: ago without a preacher,
merely by reading the Bible and
some tracts which had come to their
hands. It did my heart good to hear
of the experience through which they had
to pass. In spite of much mockery and
persecution; they have held fast to the
truth, On Sabbath afternoon, Brother
Greaves baptized his second daughter.
Brother Greaves has changed his head-
quarters to Patras, in the country of
Achaia, which is mentioned in Rom. 15:
26. May his entrance there be a bless-
ing to the people.
Since my return to Constantinople,
new doors have been opened through
the canvassing work of Brother Savvas.
He is working on the line from Salonika
to Uskiib, which is a great center of revo-
lution. In Istomnicha, about fifteen men
are deeply interested in the truth, and
are waiting to join God’s people.
While Brother Scior was staying there
and holding meetings, the local authori-
ties became suspicious and the fanatical
people were excited, so that they urged
him to leave the place. He will try to
work in the vicinity of Istommnicha, to
take care of those who are interested, and
761
instruct them in the truth. We are glad
to see that something is going on in
Macedonia. It is not easy to control the
people there, as for many years it has
been constantly in turmoil. The sur-
rounding Powers have sometimes hard
work to manage this district. But we are
sure that the Lord has honest souls in it,
who will accept the message before the
Lord comes. |
All the workers of the Levant Union
need the prayers of Christian people.
The present state of political affairs in
the country is uncertain, and the future
of Turkey looks very dark.
As Turkey will have to surrender
Tripoli to the Christians, the newspapers
say that again a great massacre may hap-
pen in the near future. Our comfort
stands in Ps. 27: 1-6.

The Mormon Menace
“MorMONIsSM seeks to invade every
part of the world. Its adherents have
been compelled to leave Mexico and
abandon large tracts of fine agricultural
land valued at several millions of dollars.
This will not deter them, however, from
spreading to other sections. Germany is
becoming alarmed.
Several Mormon mis-
sionaries were recently
driven from Bavaria,
but despite this hos-
tility it is said that in
Berlin the propaganda
of Mormonism is mak-
ing headway. England
also has been aroused
against the campaign
and
