BEAUMONT.—My wife and I moved here July 6, 1902. We thought that we were the only Sabbath keepers in this busy city, but we were told that a few had been here several years ago, and had sown some good seed.

I am a carpenter, and although following my trade, we began work in a quiet way, by selling Signs, living the truth, and talking with the people. This house-to-house canvass by both my wife and myself has been blessed of God; for several have become interested. One of these, with other members of her large family, has joined our Sabbath school, besides attending Bible readings. We also found four or five brethren and sisters of mature years and experience who also had moved here, and had begun to work among the people. We were all glad to find one another, and to unite our influence for further good in the cause which we all love.

A Sabbath school has been organized, which is well attended, and at least two sisters have spent some time in canvassing. One sister is a nurse; and as she ministers to the body, she also lets the Lord use her to present the Saviour of the body and the soul, and some precious experiences have resulted. One woman who was sick with fever learned present truth from this sister, and accepted it with praise to the Lord, and asked to be baptized.

Our courage is good, our trust is in the Lord, and to him we give all the praise.
