Torre Pellice, Piedmont, Italy.
By D. T. Bourdeau
A WONDERFUL change came over me from the stand-point of health, about three weeks since, in answer to the earnest prayers of my dear companion, and others, and I have been improving since returning to this place. I have ceased raising from my lungs, and the pain has gone from my left lung. My appetite is restored, and my general strength is rapidly increasing. I am able to walk about as straightly as I used to in my boyhood days among the mountains of old Vermont. My strength and clearness of voice are more than ordinary. For this I praise God and take courage. I have completed the work of organization here by establishing the tithes among the believers. Brother Geymet, who took his stand for the truth during our efforts here last winter, is doing a good work at colporting, and preparing the way for series of meetings at different points. I have had precious seasons with him in encouraging him in this important work. In visiting the hiding places of ancient Sabbath keepers, so difficult of access, I have been inspired with a stronger desire to imitate the devotion and self-denial displayed by those worthy Christians.
