India

By Mrs. J. L. Shaw

LUCKNOW.—February 13, just before the evening service, three tourists from France and Belgium were passing to Banks Road, and their attention was attracted by the sign, “Seventh-day Adventist Meeting Hall.” They at once came in to inquire who Seventh-day Adventists were, and what they believed. They said they had toured England and the United States, and had never heard of Seventh-day Adventists before, and they were anxious to know just what the name stood for.

During the few minutes’ visit, they asked many questions, and seemed especially impressed with the idea of Christ’s soon coming. On leaving, they were given several tracts, such as, “Fundamental Principles of Seventh-day Adventists,” “Is the End Near?” “Signs of Christ’s Coming,” “Which Day Do You Keep, and Why?”

Had it not been for the sign, “Seventh-day Adventist Meeting Hall,” these intelligent people might have only associated Lucknow with the scenes of the mutiny. As it is, their interest was at least aroused by the notice of the meetings, and let us pray that as they read the little tracts, their hearts may be impressed by the simple truths.
