JONESBORO. — We came here about two months ago to canvass with our good book. We began to scatter tracts and papers, with the result that five are keeping the Sabbath, and others are deeply interested. One brother came out on the Sabbath truth by reading the tract, “Without Excuse.” We should be careful not to let our papers accumulate, but scatter them among our friends. They are hungering for the truth. “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.” Hosea 4:6. O, let us hand out these papers that contain the most precious truth, which must go to the world! The Lord will test his children.

We find that he tested ancient Israel on the fourth commandment. Ex. 16:4, 22, 27. The apostle Paul wrote, “Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.” 1 Cor. 10:11. The question now is: Whom will you obey, God or man? May the Lord bless all his dear children.
