Boston, Mass.

By M. Wood

BIBLE truth is gaining ground in Boston. Prejudice is slowly but surely giving way. We came together on first-day evening, Dec. 31, 1871, and the Lord met with us and blessed us abundantly. Backsliders came forward. Others acknowledged their short-comings, and we all covenanted anew with the Lord and with one another to strive more diligently to serve the Lord the coming year. It was a refreshing season. Prayer prevailed. Since then, one precious soul has taken a decided stand upon present truth, and fully determined to keep the sanctified Sabbath

of the Lord. Others have become interested through reading our tracts and publications, which are being freely distributed. There is a great stir in this vicinity. People are becoming much interested, and even alarmed about the Sabbath. There is power in God's truth, and humble truth-seeking, God-fearing, commandment-keeping people will come off conquerors, and be permitted to stand upon Mount Zion and sing the song of Moses and the Lamb.

We are looking forward to the time of Elder J. N. Andrews' return with much pleasure, and shall lift up thankful hearts and voices to God when the few weeks of his absence shall have expired and he be returned to feed the hungry sheep.
