New Brunswick

By J. O. Miller

ST. JOHN.—Two months have now passed since we left our home in Ohio and came to St. John, New Brunswick. On our arrival, there was not a person to meet us whom we had ever seen before. All here were then entire strangers; but it is not so now. Besides the members of the church, we have formed the acquaintance of many people in the city, who are kind and friendly. We have sufficient reason to believe the Lord has jewels here, and we are seeking them.

Our conveniences for church services are limited, we having only a hall in which to hold Sabbath and Sunday-night services. Our attendance and interest have increased, till the hall, last evening, June 8, was nearly full, and at the close of the service I received invitations to visit the homes of different ones. One young man especially desired me to go to his home to teach himself and his wife the Bible.

The members of the church have taken on new courage, and manifest a desire to assist in warning the people of this city of fifty-two thousand inhabitants of a soon-coming Saviour. This church is made up of hard-working men and women; but when I presented to them

the needs of the work they responded by giving, at a sacrifice, thirty-five dollars on the $150,000 fund. One dear brother who lost his companion and now works hard to support himself and children, lost ten dollars the other day. He promised the Lord one half of it if it ever was found. On Sunday morning he came to my home, with a cheerful look on his face, and said he had found his ten dollars. The Lord had directed him to the right man.

The evidences of a fast-closing work and a soon-coming Saviour are so plain that no one can fail to observe them, unless his mind be blinded by the god of this world.
