Mississippi

By W. H. Sebastian

YAZOO.—Sabbath, April 8, we had quarterly meeting. Sunday I visited a few families. One sister promised to keep the Sabbath, and will be ready for baptism on my return.

Wednesday, at school, Brother Lawrence spoke to his students on “Repentance and Baptism.” When I called at the school, he related to me the good news that four students desire baptism. I spoke to a company of forty-six students on the same subject. About sixteen of these are Sabbath-keepers; others are interested. Wednesday night Brother Lawrence and I visited a family composed of three persons. After a short salutation we begun our reading, at the end of which they promised to obey all God’s commandments.

Sabbath, the fifteenth, we had quarterly meeting at Jackson. At the close of our meeting, Elder Shaeffer, vice-president of the conference, walked in. All were glad to see him, and enjoyed his timely instruction. Sabbath, the twenty-second, we had our quarterly meeting at Vicksburg. Four were added to the church. Two had their names enrolled for baptism. Two others are now keeping the Sabbath, one of whom is paying tithe, but they have not attended our meetings yet. Pray for the work. W. H. SEBASTIAN.
