ALABAMA

By W. Woodford

JUNIATA.—It will soon be three years since our school work started at this place. The work has been carried on quietly, yet earnestly; and in addition to their school and farm work, the teachers have done much work in relieving the needs of the poor. We have three buildings, including the schoolhouse. Last June we held a series of meetings, which lasted a month. At that time several decided to obey the Lord, and two of the students were baptized.
December 10 we concluded a two-weeks’ effort, having conducted thirty-five evening studies with the school and the public. Nine persons were baptized, and a church of twenty-seven members was organized, twenty-five being new converts to the faith. It was a blessed experience to all present to see what a great work the Lord is doing for this people. Lifelong habits were laid aside, the one desire being to please the Lord. May He keep these people in humbleness of mind.
At Fruithurst several have begun the observance of the Sabbath of the Lord, and are walking in the pathway of light. We hope soon to visit the place, and organize a company there.
Brethren, pray the Lord of the harvest to send forth more laborers. W. Woodford.
