New Sabbathkeepers in Iowa
Bro. E. Kincade writes from Butler Co., Iowa. Five in this place have acknowledged that the seventh-day is the Sabbath, within the past three weeks. They also acknowledge the truth on the immortality question, and kindred truths. Some have given in their testimony, and told their determinations. One of our neighbors who has been a Methodist, but was in a backslidden state, has embraced the truth. May the Lord help them to carry out their good resolutions, is my prayer. I have been here for seven years without seeing one of like precious faith. All the preachers that we have had are the Review and Instructor. I feel encouraged to press on. I prize the Health Reform much. Have been a slave to tobacco for twenty-five years, and thought I could not live without it, but I can now thank God that I can do without it, and I desire to leave off all bad and unhealthy habits, and live so as to be prepared to meet my brethren and sisters in the kingdom of God. Pray for us and send help if you can spare a preacher.
