South Carolina

By C. G. Manns

COLUMBIA.—The work here is progressing in an encouraging manner. The church numbers about forty, and has a growing interest. The writer spent ten days with this church, and preached every night.

From March 6-14 Brethren V. O. Cole and R. L. Underwood conducted a canvassers' institute at Columbia. Elder C. V. Achenbach was present and gave some timely instruction every morning. For this we were thankful. Eleven or more were present to prepare themselves for the canvassing work. A Sabbath-school convention was held by Brother J. L. McConneghoy. Many interesting thoughts concerning Sabbath-school and young people work were discussed. This meeting was indeed profitable to all who were present.

God was certainly with us during the ten days and nights. The meetings were well attended by those not of our faith. On Sunday night, March 16, we discussed the question, "Is Sunday the True Sabbath of the Lord?" The church was full. At the close of the meeting eight stood to signify their intention of keeping the Sabbath. Others are much interested. Pray that God's blessing may rest upon the work in Columbia and upon the new believers here that they may stand fast. C. G. MANNS.
