PONOKA.—Our hearts were made very sad by the report of the burning of our publishing house. We thought the good old REVIEW would not be able to reach us for a time at least; but to our glad surprise, it came, and seemed so hopeful and cheerful, it did our hearts good. We never before appreciated the weekly visits of the REVIEW as we do since the fire. It seems more dear to us than ever, although we always did appreciate it very much, and felt that we could not afford to miss the precious truths which it contained each week. The buildings may burn, but thank the Lord, the truth of God still lives.

We have been here for over a year, but it has seemed to us that the work opened up very slowly, until of late. It has now, as it were, taken on a new form, for which our hearts are made glad. The outlook is encouraging. We have had several opportunities to administer treatments, and the Lord has blessed our efforts with good success. We have given some instruction on healthful living, and have held Bible readings, etc.

One lady with whom I have been studying the prophecies, the main points of the message, and to whom I have given treatments, has fully decided to keep the Lord’s Sabbath, and has accepted all the truth thus far presented. Another lady is much interested in the Sabbath question, and went home loaded with literature. Both of these ladies have been reading The Signs of the Times for over six months.

We are of good courage, and by the help of the Lord mean to do all we can to advance the message in this new and needy field. The truth never seemed more dear to us than it does at this time. Pray for the work here, and for us, that we may be consecrated instruments that the Lord can use to his glory.
