WILMINGTON.—Some time ago a small company of women associated themselves together to study the Bible. Soon after, Sister I. E. Kimball, who was engaged in missionary work here, brought them the truth of the Sabbath, which they accepted. Brother Chapman, who was here a short time, also assisted them. We are selling our literature, and have aided them somewhat, instructing them upon different points of truth. We have organized a Sabbath-school of ten members—not including ourselves. These receive the message gladly, and catch its spirit—that of helping others. We observed the week of prayer with them; though many had to come alone some distance at night, the weather often being unfavorable, yet they showed an earnestness by regular attendance that would do well to be copied by many experienced Sabbath-keepers, of whom much more might be expected. It rained hard all day Sabbath, but all were present except two. One of these being sick, she sent her offering by a messenger. Though poor,—some earning a living by washing,—yet all had a part in the offering. Five orders were obtained for the REVIEW; we feel that the week of prayer was a success here. We are glad for this little light set upon a hill, in Wilmington. We also consecrate ourselves anew as workers. MR. AND MRS. E. C. ROGERS.
