The Work Progressing.

We have just received the following interesting letter from Bro. J. R. Purinton, Madison Co., Ohio:—

“DEAR FRIENDS: I have distributed all the tracts I had among my friends, and I believe they will accomplish good. A young man who is a partner of mine is now keeping the Sabbath with me. We long to hear the gospel of Jesus proclaimed by one of our preachers. But we are in the hands of the living God. He who has opened our eyes and shown us the true path, will help us up the rugged way until all obstacles are overcome. Pray for us, that we may prove conquerors over sin and Satan, and at the last day receive a passport through the beautiful gates into the city.

“The Health Reformer has proved a great blessing to us. My partner both chewed and smoked, and I was a perfect slave to a cigar. Since reading the Reformer and a tract upon the subject, we have thrown them all away—pipes, tobacco, and cigars. Thank God for the Reformer; for it is a blessing to all who will read and take warning.”
