Items of Interest.

By Bettie Coombs

A GENTLEMAN IN Nova Scotia writes: “Your card came duly to hand. In reply I would say that the papers mentioned were also received, and read with interest. As I have received the Signs from time to time, my curiosity has been aroused to know to whom I am indebted for this great favor. As I now have your address, I hope to hear from you again at no distant date.”

The following is from a noted physician of Kentucky: “I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of several copies of the Signs, for which I am very thankful. I cannot concur in all their teachings, though they contain some very strong and pointed arguments.”

A lady of Kentucky writes: “I am much interested in the Signs and REVIEWS, which you have so kindly sent to me.”

A Missionary Baptist minister of Minnesota writes from Craigsville, Ky.: “I have long been convinced that I was not keeping the right day. I can find no Scriptural authority for a change of the Sabbath from the seventh to the first day. Accept my sincere thanks for the tracts. I have perused the first, second, and third messages of Rev. 14 with the deepest interest. They have created within me a new zeal to openly and publicly advocate the principles they inculcate.”

I could give others equally as encouraging, but this will suffice for the present.
