BIRMINGHAM.—The Lord is blessing the efforts put forth in this city, in bringing the truth to the knowledge of the people. Our hearts rejoiced yesterday (Sabbath, March 28) when six precious souls were buried with their Lord by baptism, and united with our little band of Sabbath-keepers here. We are looking forward to another baptism soon, as there are several others who are keeping the Sabbath, but to whom all the points of faith have not yet been presented.
It is encouraging to see how anxious the honest-hearted ones are to know about the truth, and, thank the Lord, there are many of these. On Sabbaths we usually have a goodly number of visitors, and on Sunday evenings our little church can scarcely accommodate the members and friends. The church is in an excellent spiritual condition, and as a result of this, a remarkable missionary zeal has come in, and each member is doing something to further the blessed truth so dear to him.
A canvassers’ institute has been in progress here for the purpose of instructing those who desire to canvass for our books, and about twenty have enlisted, and are preparing to enter the field with the printed page. Spring has come, and plans are being laid to have a vigorous tent effort, which we hope may be the means of bringing the present truth to other honest-hearted ones who are looking for it. We are of good courage, and ask an interest in your prayers for the work in this large city.
