B. E. FULLMER

By B. E. Fullmer

On September 5 I separated from my companions in labor at Sioux Rapids, to take up my winter's work elsewhere. It seems hardly possible that nearly twelve weeks have passed since we began our work there, so rapid has been the flight of time. But, though rapid in passing, these weeks have, through the blessing of God, brought light to some souls who now rejoice in the truth. The natural winds were held, and not a meeting was disturbed by storm, though the summer was very warm. Theological winds have blown, but the truth has suffered no harm. Several sermons were delivered against us, and the town was canvassed for tracts to which our workers

are not strangers; but we feel no fear for the truth. “If God be for us, who can be against us?” “The commandments of God, and the testimony of Jesus” (Rev. 12: 17) were the points of attack, emphasizing the fact that the wrath of the dragon is rising. Let the remnant be of good cheer, for deliverance draws nigh.

A full statement of results cannot be given as yet; for, though the summer is past, the harvest is not ended. Fifteen signed the covenant for the first time, and three have been reclaimed from the world. Two others are keeping the commandments, and quite a large number are in the valley of decision, for whom we hope and pray. A good interest to hear yet remains, which is being followed up with Bible readings and occasional public meetings. Liberal use has been made of literature in our work, both as sales and gifts. About forty subscriptions have been obtained for our papers.

Personally, this has been the best summer in my experience. I am thankful for the presence and blessing of God in the work, and also for the pleasant association of Brethren C. W. Heald and Chas. Renfro, whose faithful efforts have added much to the success of the work. They now bear the responsibility of further developing the company and interest. The door is yet open for earnest personal work in many homes. May God bless and guide these brethren as they continue their work.
