SPARTANBURG.—We are glad to say that the Lord is blessing our efforts in lifting up the standard of truth for the colored people in this place.

Although no one has taken a stand for the truth as yet, many are studying it with intense interest, in fact, it seems to be the only theme of interest for them, and we hope they will eventually accept it.

There is, however, a slight undercurrent of opposition, which occasionally runs so high as to be noticeable here and there, but the truth will triumph; for they “can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.”

A leaflet entitled “A Letter from Jesus Christ,” is now being circulated by the “Holiness” people. In this leaflet is set forth the theory that the Sabbath was changed by Christ after his resurrection, and this letter, the original copy of which has been carefully preserved, and is now in possession of one of high position in Europe, was written by our Lord himself before his ascension. As this deception is so glaring, there is not much danger of many being swept away by it.

We have organized a Young People’s Society and a canvassers’ class in connection with our work. About ten are now engaged in the canvassing work, and are having rich experiences and good success. We are still working and praying for a church building.
