A Teacher’s Influence for Sabbath Truth

We believe it was through the faithfulness of a Seventh-day Baptist lady school-teacher that our Advent brethren first became acquainted with the doctrine of the Bible Sabbath, from which sprang that vigorous and earnest body of Sabbath-keepers. Not every teacher among first-day people may hope for such results from her example and work, but every one thus situated may do much for the cause of truth. The following words from Miss O. M. Bee, in West Virginia, shows an appreciation of her opportunities which it may be encouraging and helpful to others to read:
"There is a revival of religion in progress at this place (Hocker's Valley). I am teaching the public school at this place and am trying to do what I can for the Lord. I have only been here a short time, and do not know all the parents yet, but I know and love the children and can use my influence with them. Pray for us that the blessing of God may rest on our efforts, that much good may be done; and that the people may know the Sabbath truth."—Sabbath Recorder.
