EDMONTON.—August 25 my daughter and I started the first tent effort for the German people of this city. The meetings have continued four weeks with a good attendance, and the Lord has blessed our work.
There was little evidence of prejudice at first, but when the people began to get interested, Satan began to work. The Baptists sent to Winnipeg, Manitoba, for an evangelist to preach against me. I attended two of his meetings, in which he spoke from the epistle to the Galatians. At the close of their first meeting, I went to the pulpit and quietly asked the minister of the church to kindly mention that there would be no meeting at my tent the following evening. Instead of doing so, he started to argue, and quite a discussion followed. He had asked for a debate with me in his own church, but since this discussion nothing more has been said concerning it.
The other ministers have also gotten their members together and explained the Sabbath and Sunday question to them, and warned them against us. However, some are ready to take their stand for the truth, and will keep the Sabbath.
