SISTER E. EATON writes from Watertown: When reading your testimonies through the paper, I have often felt as though I would like to add mine, and say a few words of the goodness of our Lord, and what he has done for me. Is there not room for all to write who can? and is it not our privilege and also our duty to speak often to each other? How should we lone ones hear from those of like precious faith if they did not write for the paper? I lived in Fond du Lac a year. When I first went there, I thought I was all alone. I sat down and wrote a letter for the Review, and by so doing found out another family living there who were Sabbath-keepers. I found them firm in all they understood of the truth. I lent them the book, How to Live, some Health Reformers, and gave them some other books. May the Lord bless them and lead them into all truth, is my prayer. I also found one French woman who was a Sabbath-keeper. Others, also, had been, but gave up the Sabbath on account of pay for their labor. But one man said he must keep the Sabbath, and should get some land, that he might keep the Sabbath of the Lord our God. May the Lord help him to do so. I believe there will yet be a people in Fond du Lac keeping the commandments of God, and waiting for the Lord’s coming.
