Alberta

By C. A. BURMAN.

ABOUT eighteen months ago Dr. S. W. Gamble visited the province of Alberta, holding meetings in every locality where Seventh-day Adventists were to be found, except in the largest cities. He was sent out by the Lord's-day Alliance, and was welcomed by the churches in general.
Among other boastful statements, he said that wherever he had labored, Seventh-day Adventists had decreased in numbers. At that time our church-membership was about one hundred sixty; at present there are nearly three hundred on our church records. Several became deeply interested in the truth as an indirect result of his work.
It may be asked, What has become of the doctor? He is to be found on a homestead in Alberta. From time to time he speaks in a country school-house in an Adventist community. The words of men are as idle tales; but God's truth is as powerful and enduring as God himself. C. A. BURMAN.
