THE SABBATH IN EGYPT.

By John Nevins Andrews

I send a package of each number of our paper to Bro. Ribton of Italy. It appears that he has sent one or more copies regularly to Alexandria, Egypt. I have just received a very interesting letter from Bro. R., in which he speaks of the result as follows:—

“I am happy to tell you that LES SIGNES DES TEMPS has been the means of bringing Bro. Bertola, a dear and true servant of Christ, to accept definitely the Lord’s Sabbath. I sent it to him regularly to Alexandria, and he read the discussion with Cocorda with much interest. His arguments, he says, are clever, but they are mere human assumption, whereas you have had Scripture entirely on your side.

“Ever yours in the Lord, H. P. Ribton.”

May it please God that many Sabbath-keepers shall yet be found in the land of Egypt. We hope for much fruit among those who read our French paper.

I now intend to visit Bro. Ribton immediately after the printing of our next number. I ask still an interest in the prayers of all who love the law of God. I must gratefully acknowledge the remarkable restoration of my strength, which must be, I am sure, in answer to prayer in my behalf. J. N. Andrews.
