It has been a pleasure and encouragement to have our brother Otto Blaedel amongst us for a little while, and to be able to commend him to the Lord in his going forth once again to the field of service God has called him to. The work in that land has long been a subject of thanksgiving for the marvels of redeeming grace amongst that people. Being personally acquainted with not a few of the towns and villages referred to in our brother’s remarks at Clapham on Friday, 25th September, it was a joy to learn that the work had made such strides, and that the gatherings, large when first we knew them, had more than doubled.
