Alabama

By Sydney Scott

MOBILE.—The work in Mobile, Ala., is going on nicely. Since the beginning of our tent-meeting twenty-five new Sabbath-keepers have been brought out. Our Sabbath-school has had a large increase. When we came here, the membership of the Sabbath-school was ten; now it is thirty-five. Among those accepting the truth is a Spanish professor who has command of three languages. He was a school-teacher in Central America, also an interpreter in the government service in the Spanish countries. He is twenty-seven years old, and was educated in the British West Indies. I believe the Lord has called this young man to fill some vacant place in our Spanish fields.

The city is in a great stir over the strange doctrine which has been preached here. We have reached some of the so-called better class of colored people. Last Sabbath the hall was filled with Sabbath-keepers, something never seen here before. Our prayer was that a church of fifty members be brought to the light of the truth here in this great city. We are on the road to that number. SYDNEY SCOTT.
