“OVER ONE SINNER.”

“WHEN I was a boy in old England,” said the white-haired old man, Dr. Winter, at a missionary meeting, “one day my mother had gone to the missionary prayer-meeting. That was in the early days of missions to the heathen—the days of Carey, and Ryland, and Andrew Fuller. Toward evening she came home very much excited, and bursting open the door as the family were just gathering around the supper table she clapped her hands and exclaimed: “There’s a convert! there’s a convert!” Then she told the story of the conversion of Krishna Pal, the first Hindu trophy of the cross. It was a matter of great rejoicing in all the churches of the realm. God had owned and blessed the missionary enterprise.”

If S. D. Adventists should rejoice like this over new converts to the great Sabbath reform of this present time, what a rejoicing people they would be! And why not?
