Sabbath Keepers in Tuscola County

By C. D. Cook

Bro. C. D. Cook writes from Tuscola Co., Mich.: It cheers my heart to read the encouraging testimonies of dear brethren and sisters scattered abroad. I feel that I have great reason to praise the Lord for his goodness in sending two more families of Sabbath-keepers within our reach. Six months ago there were but three of us who kept the Sabbath; but now there are ten who can meet together for prayer and conference meeting on the holy Sabbath. I can truly say, Praise the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me praise his holy name. Brethren and sisters pray for us that we may be bright and shining lights before the world, and that our numbers may be increased by the addition of such as shall be saved.

Myself and companion would like to be baptized the first opportunity. I believe if we could organize a church here others would join us. I would say to all who wish to purchase a home in a good country of farming land, that this is a good place, and land is cheap. And if there is a Sabbath-keeper who wishes to find employment as a farmer, whether single or a man of a family, I would like to hire by the month, or let land to work. For further particulars address C. D. Cook, Akron, Tuscola Co., Mich. Brethren, come and see for yourselves, and help us to organize a little church, and get ready to meet the Lord.
