H. S. GURNEY of Memphis, Mich., states that at a protracted meeting held in that place last winter, a sister from Muskegon, on a visit there, became so much interested that she continued her investigation after she returned, and became a Sabbath-keeper. Her husband soon commenced to keep the Sabbath, and now she writes that they number seven, all from reading. She writes to a friend in Memphis:—

“I received the papers and books you sent me. I was thankful for them. They are a great help to us. My husband has turned Sabbath-keeper, and we are striving to serve the Lord and obey all his commandments. It is such a pleasure to us to take his holy word as the man of our counsel, and try to be guided by all its precepts.

“I do wish I could see you and tell you how happy I am. I wish a preacher would come and spend a short time with us. My prayer is continually for some way to be opened to send the true gospel to us poor heathen here in the woods.

“There are seven of us striving for the truth amidst opponents on every side. Do pray for us. I am in earnest in this. My heart is full and running over. I do not ask for a thousand tongues to praise his name. I want to praise him right with the one he has given me.”
