ALABAMA

By A. O. Burrill

Gadsden, June 17.
Rain and storms have interrupted our meetings during the two weeks past. The storms of Alabama are much more terrific than those in the North. The Baptist minister announced that he would preach against the Sabbath, but his sermon turned out to be a bundle of personalities against me, intermingled with now and then something about the “Christian Sabbath.” In the review I made no reference to any of his slander, and used the time in setting the truth before my hearers. This has greatly helped the work here. He is to make another effort against us this week.
Our meetings are becoming known for forty or fifty miles around. The people are very slow to move, and when they have decided to keep the Sabbath they are very easily turned away. We shall remain here a few days more, then go five miles west to Attala, which will be our address till further notice.
