New Brunswick

By J. A. Strickland

HARVEY.—This is a village with a population of about four hundred, situated in the center of one of the finest farming sections in the province of New Brunswick.
In harmony with a recommendation of the Maritime Conference, I entered Harvey with a tent in June, and began the proclamation of the third angel's message. For more than three weeks the weather was stormy and unfavorable, yet encouraging congregations were present at every service, sometimes double the number our tent would accommodate.
The Spirit of God was present in a remarkable manner. The testing truths for our times found lodgment in the minds and hearts of many. At the expiration of six weeks a company of twenty-one believers was organized, ten of this number being adults. These dear souls are heartily rejoicing in the blessed hope of present truth; they meet from house to house each Sabbath. The entire company is full of courage, and is happily journeying to the kingdom that is now very near.
August 6 I removed my tent to a place called Little Settlement, five miles from Harvey. I will say for the people of this place that I have never found a more moral, friendly, and sociable people, nor a community that insisted on fair play more than this one.
Our tent has been filled at every meeting, it not being able to hold half who came on pleasant evenings and Sundays.
The Sabbath question is being presented now. Not one word of opposition has been offered. We believe by the help of God, some bright jewels are going to be gathered from Little Settlement for our blessed Master.
There are quite a number of intelligent young people here, whom some day I hope to see occupying places of usefulness in our Lord's vineyard.
Pray that God's blessing may richly descend upon this place.
J. A. STRICKLAND.
