Mississippi

By P. SHEPARD; N. B. KING

CANTON.—With joy we chronicle the passing of another Sabbath of the Lord to be especially remembered because of the blessing of God. On this day two dear souls (school-teachers) decided to keep the Sabbath. A number of children have voluntarily become members of our Sabbath-school, and their interest in our meetings exceeds anything we have hitherto experienced. On this day the law of God was recited and studied, and texts of scripture explaining each precept was read; love was shown to be the fulfilling of the law. The profound and impressive yet simple lessons of Matthew 7 and Luke 6 sent the truth home to the hearts of the children. All were benefited. The next day one girl with tears in her eyes told her mother she was converted, and was going to keep the Sabbath. Others are putting away swine’s flesh, and telling their parents which is the true day to keep holy, and that they want to keep it. We rejoice in the Lord and the power of his Word.
