King William’s Town, South Africa
By Mrs. E. R. Williams
It has been ten weeks since I returned to King William’s Town, to follow up the work where we had our tent-meeting last season. Brethren Moko and Burton had left two colored women keeping the Sabbath, and I had promised to look after them and get them better established in the truth. The first Sabbath they were the only ones present. I told them that if they expected me to have meetings with them, they must have their children present, and also invite in their friends and neighbors. The next Sabbath there were fourteen out, and I organized a Sabbath-school, and held a meeting with them. As the result of this work, five other women are keeping the Sabbath. The calls for Bible readings in private homes among Europeans have been more than I could possibly fill. I have been giving nineteen Bible readings a week lately, besides holding two meetings. We hold a Sabbath-school and meeting for the Europeans on Sabbath afternoon. This school numbers but eleven. One woman who was a Catholic has recently begun keeping the Sabbath, and is teaching the Bible truths to her children. She has much persecution in her own home. Two Dutch women who had given up the Sabbath have been reclaimed recently.
