A Personal Experience

By Washington Morse

I HAVE just made a forty-mile trip, having gone into the country to visit some isolated Sabbath keepers. I walked much of the way, and in nearly every house I entered, I found some of our books. Many questions were asked concerning the doctrines they teach. This opened the way to present the truth more fully. One woman said that her minister said that he did not know anything about those prophetic periods or the time of the judgment; “but,” she added, “I have found by reading Elder Smith’s works on the prophecies, that we are already in the judgment, and that it is now going on in the courts of heaven.”

To persons of experience the house-to-house work affords an opportunity for the accomplishment of much good, and by this means the knowledge of the truth may be disseminated much more effectively than by sermonizing. As for myself, it would be a blessed work if I had the means to defray my current expenses. I am of good courage, and am able to walk from five to eight miles a day, and give several talks to those interested.
