NORTH CAROLINA.

By S. H. Kime

Kelley Crucis, Feb. 9.—I have made a hasty trip to the central part of this State. Have labored in several different counties. Some will keep the Sabbath of the fourth commandment, and only preach to them; the power to compel conviction is the province of the Holy Spirit. There are thousands in this State who never so much as knew that there was such a people as the S. D. Adventists. I feel confident from my experience that much and lasting good could be accomplished in this State if the work could be carried forward. There is an interest awakened in different localities.
Found but little opposition, though a Methodist minister on one occasion disputed my word during a lecture. Many returned thanks for the labor given, among whom were several ministers.
I also visited some Sabbath-keepers in Wilkes county. Found them firm on the law and Sabbath, but they still belong to the First-day Adventists. We have no minister in this State who devotes all of his time to the ministry. The ministers are compelled to labor for their support. The same is true for us. S. H. KIME.
