IRISH ADVENTISTS SCARCE

One Hundred Converts In Thirty Year* on the Emerald Isle. Washington, May 21.—The slow advance of the faith in the British isles was the subject of a report read at the conference of the Seventh Day Adventists. It was stated by Elder W. T. Bartlett that in thirty years the records showed only 1,700 converts. In Ireland, he said, there had been less than 100 converts. He attributed this to the great strength of the churches of England and Rome.
