ADEMAR VUILLEUMIER

By Ademar Vuilleumier

From Switzerland and Italy.

Having received a letter from Switzerland lately, I will translate a few lines from it, believing that they will be of some interest to the readers of the Review.

In Review Vol. 42, p. 80, mention is made of a Baptist evangelist living in Italy, who there embraced the third angel’s message. As he desired to become more acquainted with our views, he visited the brethren in Switzerland. After remaining there some time, he returned to Italy, where he is now preaching the seventh-day Sabbath and the second coming of Christ. They now write concerning him:—

“We have rejoicing news from Bro. Ferraris from Italy. He is a faithful missionary, though very poor. He is obliged to support his family of seven children with $10 a month, and some little gifts that we send him besides. He is working hard, speaking of the coming of Christ to every one with whom he has the privilege of conversing. He is also holding meetings wherever he can. He proclaims our views to all, Protestants or Catholics, telling them to prepare themselves for the soon coming of Christ. There are now five or six in Italy keeping the seventh-day Sabbath. He asks me for some French tracts, and questions on different subjects. We feel greatly the need of tracts to help.

“May the Lord bless and give wisdom to those who have the burden of the work, that this message may go forth to every nation, preparing a people to meet our Saviour in the air. Give our Christian love to the brethren of America.

“Your brother in Christ, “ALBERT VUILLEUMIER.

As “many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of Heaven,” let us be willing to consecrate ourselves to God, and devote our talents to his service. May the Lord help us to be faithful.
