Encouraging.

By Editor

The following letter, from Tahiti, was received by a member of the Oakland Missionary Society:—

At Mr. C.'s request I now write you his answer to your letter received by him by this last mail. He says that he has received the three books on the prophecies, and the papers, and is very much pleased with the pamphlet on baptism, which he is now perusing. It is now fifteen years, he says, since he gave up baptism by sprinkling, and wished to be baptized by total immersion but there is no one here to do it. He was a member of the Congregational Church in Scotland, for forty years, but has since changed his ideas on many subjects.

He intends to visit San Francisco about the end of the year, if possible, and God willing, then he would wish to have a good long talk with you.

“He farther adds that when I first lent him the SIGNS OF THE TIMES he was convinced that he was wrong in his not keeping the seventh day as the Sabbath, and now keeps that day as the Sabbath.”
