A Visit to Prince Edward Island
By Wm. Guthrie
ONE year ago we solicited help from a number of the brethren and sisters in the States to assist in building a tabernacle for use in Prince Edward Island. To those who so generously responded to the call I am glad to say that it has been more than a success. We had expected to use it about eight months in the year, but to our delight we have been able to use it twelve months in the year, and find it very comfortable, even in the coldest of the winter. Last month I made a trip from Halifax, Nova Scotia, to Charlottetown, to assist in moving the tabernacle to a new location. This work was accomplished in about four days, and the little band of Sabbath-keepers are much pleased to have so pleasant a house of worship. It was my privilege to speak to them while there, and on Sunday and Sunday night the room was well filled with attentive listeners. O how we longed to see the truth obtain such a hold on them that the old-time customs of following men may fall before the love of God, as the stubble before the consuming flame! Brother James Hanna is doing a good work there, and the little company of believers is growing in grace daily. May the Lord add to their numbers such as shall be saved. Our work here in Halifax is onward, and all are of good courage. Since the dedication of the church ten have been added to our numbers, and we are full of hope for others. Our general meeting is to be held here June 3-12, and we trust that it may prove a means of great blessing to our people. Since our call for help for the Halifax church, to which some have nobly responded, we have received one hundred and twenty dollars. While we had hoped for more, we are very grateful for what we have received, and may the dear Lord bless the donors for their sacrifice in our behalf. As receipts have been sent directly to all, we will not report the names here. This is a needy field, and we are praying that the Lord may place the burden on some stronger conference to send us a good, experienced young man, and support him for two years at least. Beloved, this message is soon to close up in a glorious victory, and I want a part in that closing scene of the gospel work. If we will but take God at his word, we shall see many turn to the Lord in a day, and “there shall be delay no longer.” Wm. GUTHRIE.
