Advent Work in Southern States
By R. K. McCune
Bro. R. K. McCune writes from Edgefield Junction, Tenn.: It is cheering to read the reports from the various portions of this great nation, yet sad to think there are so few from the southern States. I think among all the people of those States, perhaps not one in ten thousand ever heard of the Advent faith; yet many of those who have heard, have received it gladly. But most of them think they must see a church organization, before they can throw off their old habits, and follow the new. Could not some of our preachers come this way this summer? A few of us are still rejoicing that we have heard God's warning to the world and are trying to obey and fit ourselves to meet our dear Redeemer. We are trying to keep up a prayer-meeting, and are making some progress in the health reform. We desire the prayers of the brethren, that we may have divine help to overcome everything that is opposed to the pure principles of Jesus Christ.
