LEICESTER.—I have just returned from Boston, on the eastern coast, where I went for the purpose of ripening off the little work that had been started by two lone sisters. While there, I had the privilege of giving the simple message for this time in the old hall where John Cotton and others of the Pilgrim Fathers were imprisoned just prior to leaving for America. It seemed good to me to have such a privilege.

One young man who began to keep the Sabbath is a carpenter and bricklayer, but when I laid before him the importance of this message, he decided to leave his work, and give his time this summer to the study of the message in our training class here at Leicester, and at the same time engage in practical work in the city by selling papers, canvassing for books, and doing whatever he can to help carry the message. A young lady there also, who has about decided to observe the Sabbath, thought that perhaps she might join our school at Leicester. We must give these young people a training to carry forward the message. We are getting everything ready to open our tent meetings here soon. It seems to me that the Lord would have us move more rapidly

in preparing the people for his coming. I can not get this out of my mind. For myself I am willing to work from early in the morning until late at night, in order to see this thing accomplished. The fact is, I have been so many, many years in this work that I have begun to feel as did the seer of Patmos: Come, Lord Jesus, and come quickly.
