RILEY RUSSELL, M. D

LAST week, while I was explaining to a new company of believers what was included in the “all things” which God commanded, a very intelligent man, who is deacon in another church, became intensely interested, and said he believed that what we were teaching was true, and that he was going to study very hard for a little while, and if God’s Word taught as we said, he wanted to be one with us who were preparing to meet Jesus. Our native people are very persistent for Bible authority for everything. Most of the people in this part of the country have been warned against reading any literature from Soonan, which only makes them the more anxious to read, for puny man can not stop God’s work. We have only a small hand-press, but printed about ten thousand tracts the past summer, and reports are coming in showing good results. We all go laden with tracts, and often when I am calling on a patient in some village, from twenty-five to one hundred fifty persons will gather about the door, which gives us a good opportunity to scatter the pages which point out the way of life.

A few days ago a man to whom I had given a leaflet on “The True God and His Sabbath,” asked me to what mission I belonged. When I told him, he said, “Well, what does that mean?” After a careful explanation of our name and why we are different, he said, “If you believe that way, yours must be a very happy and peaceful life.” I felt like praising God that even a heathen could see that the third angel’s message would make a man happy and peaceful. I thank God every day for the clear-cut third angel’s message, which will not compromise. And as I see its power calling out men in this land who are forsaking their devil-worship, with David I would say, Lord, send us help from the sanctuary, and strengthen us out of Zion.

Soonan.
