WHAT THEY SAY.

Bro. Finley N. West, writing from Tuscarawas Co., Ohio, says:—

I have distributed tracts and papers in the place where I am living, and as the result one is keeping the Sabbath, and others are interested.

Bro. S. O. Crawford writes from Green Co., Tenn.:—

It was principally by reading that I embraced the truth; for I have not yet had the privilege of hearing an Adventist preach. In the fall of 1877 I visited my brother in the State of Kansas, who is a S. D. Adventist. During my stay of five months in the State, my brother furnished me with reading matter, in which I soon became very much interested. I soon began to keep the Sabbath, and was made to rejoice in present truth.

In January last I entered a college in Greene Co., Tenn., where I am now. I am deprived of many advantages which others who are not Sabbath-keepers enjoy. I am discussing the Sabbath question with a member of the senior class, through the columns of our college paper. My opponent is a young Presbyterian preacher. He claims that Sunday is the original seventh day, and is identical with the creation Sabbath. You know that his arguments must be weak from such a standpoint as that.

A short time ago I received some reading matter, which I am circulating among the people. Wherever I can get a tract or paper into a family, it is my object to do so. We cannot conceive of the vast number of souls that may be saved in this way. I expect to try to work some in the cause this summer.

Sister Elizabeth Lucas, of Jewell Co., Kan., after speaking of the interest with which she reads the REVIEW, says:—

We have a small tract on the Sabbath, and we lend that and the REVIEW to our neighbors to read and compare with the Bible. They admit that the seventh day is the right day to keep.
