Our brother, Geo. M. Landis, of Greenwood Hills, Fayetteville, Pa., gave ten addresses with lantern slides on "Pilgrim's Progress," in the Fairview Gospel Chapel, Altoona, Pa., Jan. 10-21. While primarily for boys and girls, large numbers of adults attended. After the third night the hall was jammed, about a fourth being Romanists. One hundred and sixteen compositions on "Which Picture I liked best, and Why," were turned in by the children. Some inquired the way of salvation and a number showed interest in the matter of their path as Christians. God has evidently set an open door of opportunity in Altoona.

In Pottstown, Pa., at the Bible Truth Hall, brother Landis gave the same series of lantern lectures (Jan. 23-30). The interest was good on the part of both children and adults. Much truth calculated to establish young believers was given, as well as a constant word to the unsaved.

During the following week in the Gospel Hall in Boyertown, Pa., he gave ministry on the first eight chapters of Romans. A number of the addresses were illustrated by chalk diagrams. Interest grew from night to night.

This fall and winter Mr. Landis has also taught Bible classes in Greenwood Hills, Gettysburg, Hanover, Funkstown, Chambersburg, and in the country near Shippensburg. In addition a meeting for boys and girls is held every Friday night in the Greenwood Hills Inn, with an attendance well over 100.

Santa Barbara, Calif., March 6th.-I am on a trip south in the gospel, in English and in Japanese. Spent two weeks at Salinas, Calif., and am now at Santa Barbara. There was much interest in the ministry of the Word with the little assembly at Salinas. I also went about amongst the Japanese with tracts and individual gospel appeals, and was asked to speak at two cottage meetings and the Sunday School of the Japanese Church.

Brother E. K. Bailey, who was used of the Lord with a gospel tent at Salinas last year, has since then been laboring in the gospel in Washington and Oregon with blessing, and is now re-visiting the places in California where he labored. -Eugene B. Craig.

Boston Meeting Room, 739 Boylston St., March 13.

We had a very profitable time at our annual Feb. 22nd meeting, R. A. West and S. Holmgren, of the James Slip Mission in New York, were with us, and their ministry and fellowship was much enjoyed. About ISO from the various nearby meetings were present. We had a very interesting Bible study in the morning on Eph. 4 with addresses in the afternoon and evening. A brother from Africa on furlough gave a short talk on his work in Angola.

These brothers remained over the week-end, and on Saturday evening we had about 35 young folks out to our house, and they enjoyed a profitable evening. The brothers were present, giving a suited word to the occasion and praying with them. How good to see these dear young people so engaged! We are very happy to notice the evident desire of most of them to serve the Lord, and their diligent efforts to better qualify themselves for such work.

The severe whiter has greatly hindered the regular meetings, and both here and at Islington there has been, and still is, quite a little illness. At Worcester they are about as usual, except Mrs. Waterhouse, who was very ill for a time, but is improved. In New Hampshire there are quite a few isolated ones whom I wish to visit soon. They have been quite "buried" hi the snow all winter. The work in Littleton, N. H., goes on with blessing through the godly young women there who give themselves to prayer and the study of the Word.

San Antonio, Texas., Feb. 19.-I arrived in San Antonio, January 18th, after a very encouraging trip to Florida, visiting some saints on the way, and with some blessing. I called on the Poehners, near Gainesville, Fla., who are anxious to return to their former field of service, Colombia, S. A. They are waiting for the Lord's guidance, and would like a share in the prayers of His people.

A large quantity of tracts were prayerfully distributed on this trip. Pray for this good seed that much fruit may be forthcoming.

Since arriving in San Antonio I have been very busy building a trailer, which brother Ervin Dresch and I hope to have ready for the road in the near future.

Then we plan on making trips along the border, and in out-of-the-way places here in Texas, and would appreciate any gospel tracts and left-over Sunday School papers for this work.

Pray for this great field among the Mexicans.

Pittsburgh, Pa., Mar. 15.-Here hi Pa., I have ministered in various assemblies, homes, jails, and other institutions, since last December. I am now in Pittsburgh helping with the work in two assemblies, Tripoli St. and Long Ave. They are located in new districts, and we are carrying on a door-to-door evangelism, in an effort to awaken interest. A couple have taken their place through this work, and children have been added to the Sunday School in both halls. About 300 homes have been visited, and numbers of people have received the gospel in printed and oral form. Some Roman Catholics come to the Sunday School. One little girl has encouraged us much. She started when I visited her home two years ago. One day her mother said, "Rosemary likes your Sunday School, but when she is older she will have more sense, and go to her own." Some time ago they moved, and she stayed away for awhile, but recently she came back, having found the Hall herself in a new district. We believe that the Lord is opening her eyes and giving her "more sense" and wisdom to keep coming. The brethren here are certainly active and faithful. – Godfrey W. Coombs.

San Jose, Calif., March 12.-I have been holding Bible readings here in our home twice a week. We have been having nice interest on the part of some who are just getting the truth and we are hoping a little assembly will be started in due time. I have also been giving some time to Palo Alto, seeking to build up the little meeting there. -T. W. Carroll.

Cambridge, Minn., March 21.-Have found considerable opening for ministry here and there among those whose names I have had for some while. Have just left a small town south of here and return there this evening for meeting in the country. Lack of means hinders some (apparently) from attending meetings and sometimes closes places, where formerly they were held. Others, however, seem to have more appetite for meetings than formerly. In all the varied circumstances God is working out His purpose. -J. H. Fleming.

Oakland, Calif., March 16. – Dr. Gaebelein had seven meetings" in the Auditorium, giving good and helpful ministry which all enjoyed. The attendance was large, as is usual at his meetings.

The Open Door Mission in the down-town district, in charge of a brother who is "sound in the faith," affords an opening for the gospel once or twice a week which the brethren take in rotation. About a hundred men attend and there have been many conversions.

A group of students at the University of California in Berkeley come together once a week for a meeting which brother Jewell and I carry on. Our brother, Emerson Hancock, a student there, has been helpful in bringing them together. It is good to find even a few out of the eleven thousand students who have an ear for the Word of God.

Brother Craig has been south for a month, working among the Japanese and others, in Salinas, Santa Barbara, Alhambra, etc. This is a good work and worthy of the fellowship and prayers of the Lord's people. His son Paul, recently operated on for appendicitis, is doing well.

Brother McNair is seeking new openings for the gospel in suburban towns. -Roger B. Eames.

Lakefield, Ontario, March 15.-Returned home today after an almost full four-weeks' special effort in Kingston, Ont. The nightly talks on the Dispensational Chart aroused a keen interest, and a number of the Lord's own, especially some hungry denominational Christians, testified to receiving definite help. We were disappointed, however, in point of results from a gospel standpoint. One young woman gave evidence of trusting Christ, but apart from this there seemed to be no conversions. A Toronto young man had charge of the book-table, and thus we saw some sound literature disseminated.

It was my privilege also to address a Young People's rally at Belleville on March 9th.

Tomorrow the first of a series of Young People's "get-togethers" is scheduled for Toronto, and we have been invited to take part. -C. Ernest Tatham.

Black Cape, Que., March 15.-I had almost four weeks' meetings at New Richmond. The first two weeks were on "The Tabernacle in the Wilderness." The following eleven days we had the "Egypt to Canaan" Chart up. The interest and attendance was very good. May the Lord use His blessed Word to sanctify and build up His people, and convert sinners to Himself.
