CORINTH.— Since returning from Canada last August, my wife and I have been doing medical missionary work in Corinth. A young woman of nineteen, who was given up by the doctors, is now the picture of health, as the result of adopting the simple diet taught in the Testimonies. We do not know how precious is the gift of God to us through Sister White. This young woman has gone to her widowed mother, and is carrying out the principles of healthful cooking which she learned of us while being treated and boarded free of charge at our home. She was only one among hundreds whom we could cure of stomach troubles if we had the means. We go to the extent of our earnings in helping the poor.

Many widows come to this place because of the four large clothing factories here; some of these have children to support, and some are unable to work on account of age or sickness; so there is much destitution. Others have invalid husbands and relatives. We use these opportunities to present to them the truths for this time. We ask our brethren to remember us in prayer, also to send us clean literature, and second-hand clothing, especially for children and women. We support ourselves and our work by manual labor, receiving no pay from any conference.
