Sowing the Seed

By W. Woodford

One day last fall a lady was visiting St. Louis for a few days, leaving her home at Orchardville, Ill., on Tuesday and returning the next Saturday. While there, she saw the Adventist tent, and attended a meeting one night. She secured a few leaflets, and one of the workers sent her more reading-matter. She began keeping the Sabbath, and sent to our conference (Southern Illinois) for help. The president requested me to visit the place a few weeks ago, and the result was that we decided to hold a course of meetings. We held the first meeting, May 8; about seventy-five persons were at the service. The number now reaches over one hundred every night. Four persons are keeping the Sabbath. We have organized a Sabbath-school, and hope to see the work grow and develop till others unite with us. Brother E. F. Ferris is assisting me in the work here. W. Woodford.
