DECKMAN, TEXAS.

By A. B. Rust

Last Sabbath was our first Sabbath meeting in this place. Less than one year ago we came here, strangers in a strange land, where the truth was never heard of before; and we have looked forward to the time when there would be enough Sabbath-keepers here so that we could have meetings; and now we feel to thank God that that time has come. Last Sabbath was a good day to the few here. We had a good meeting, enjoying much of the blessing of the Lord. We now have thirteen adult Sabbath-keepers here, with a Sabbath-school of eight children.

Many around us are interested in the truth, and are anxious to hear one of our preachers. We look forward to the time when we can have a church organized here. The Lord has blessed us much since we came here. Pray for us.
