SOUTH AMHERST, MASS.

By D. A. Robinson

I have lately spent two weeks in Amherst, Mass., where there is now a company of thirteen adults observing the Sabbath. Four years ago a course of lectures was given here, and one family of three embraced the truth. Within the last month, others have taken up the cross to obey God by keeping all of his commandments. The most determined opposition has been brought to bear against them from every quarter. One discourse was preached against the Sabbath, and a promise stands for its repetition.

Last Sabbath was a good day here. A Sabbath-school was organized with a membership of twenty-two. All seem very anxious to know the whole truth. The results of the distribution of the SIGNS are already being seen in arousing an interest in the truth. One man whom I recently met very earnestly pleads for a tent-meeting in his vicinity, a village of about 4000 inhabitants. He says, “If you will come you can have a home at my house.” God speed the SIGNS OF THE TIMES.
