Fruit Appearing.

By W. M. HEALEY

The following letter was handed to me by a friend to whom it was written, and as it shows how much good may be done by circulating our papers and tracts among our friends I send it to you for publication.
“Dear sister H———
“I write to tell you that your labor in the work of the Lord is not in vain. I read the REVIEW which you sent me, from love and respect for you. I preferred it to other religious papers because it is so thoroughly earnest and religious. Its doctrines I thought presumptuous, but concluded to try them by God’s word. So I read with a Bible at hand, and on each doctrinal point looked to see what the word of God said.
“I am convinced that the S. D. Adventists are correct upon the Sabbath and the near coming of Christ. I regard the Sabbath question as the most important of all. How can we be prepared to meet Christ if we live in open disobedience to his plainly worded command? Although it has long been vailed by the traditions and commandments of men, if we will look for truth in the light of God’s word we cannot fail to see that the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord.
“I think there are many who, could they be induced to search the Scriptures upon this point, would be convinced of the truth, and at once obey the fourth commandment even in opposition to custom and tradition.
“S. A. MADDOCK.”
Here is a field of labor for us all. Who has not some friend to whom he can send a few copies of our publications? Let us all wake up to the work.
