Work of the Tracts.

By Mrs. E. M.

ONE year and a half ago there was only one Sabbath-keeper in this vicinity. She was convinced in regard to the Seventh-day Adventist doctrine under the labors of Eld. Sanborn, several years ago, in Wisconsin. She moved soon after to Iowa, and has lived up to her belief ever since.

About one year ago, through her influence, we received books treating on the second advent and third angel’s message. My husband was of the Presbyterian belief, but by throwing aside all prejudice, and by reading and comparing passages of Scripture, we became convinced on the Sabbath and second advent questions, also in regard to the immortality of the soul. About one year ago I commenced keeping the Sabbath of the Lord, and soon after another woman in our neighborhood commenced keeping the day. About four months ago we had the pleasure of having our husbands join us in taking a stand to keep the ten commandments, the fourth one not excepted, that making six of us. We have for four months met alternately together on Sabbaths at our homes to read and pray, and praise God. MRS. E. M. Otranto, Iowa.
