After Many Days

By E. H. Morton

OFTENTIMES workers know not until after many days the result of their efforts for others. This thought was brought forcibly to my mind a few mornings since by news which came in the mail. Brother Lamb, of Bangor, Maine, wrote that he has recently discovered that a lady who formerly lived near his home has been keeping the Sabbath for two years. She now resides in another part of the city, and for some reason has had no opportunity of communicating with Brother Lamb and his wife. She was led to think about the Sabbath truth by talks and reading-matter given her when a neighbor to Brother Lamb. It finally impressed her mind so forcibly that she yielded obedience to God's law.
A letter from Brother Thompson told of a visit he recently made at the home of a gentleman whose name he sent to the Maine Tract Society for missionary work last winter, and for whom he had labored and prayed. He found the gentleman rejoicing in the truth and keeping the Sabbath, but very ill. He fell “asleep in Jesus” last week, and it cheers our hearts to know that we were permitted to help give him the message for our day, and that it was accepted with gladness.
No doubt there are many isolated ones in the State keeping the Sabbath of whom we have never heard. In the days to come we shall see much fruit of this kind as the result of the distribution of the truth envelopes.
E. H. MORTON.
