A Testimony for the Truth.
Dr. Adams, of Lakeview, Mich., gives the following good testimony to the power of the truth. Bro. Burrill tells us that the doctor's wife has embraced the truth, also his sister, who is preceptress of the public school in Lakeview. He says:— “Since the coming of friend Burrill among us, there has been a general stirring up. Men who have never kept Sunday or showed any regard for religion, but have ridiculed religion and its teachings, are keeping the Sabbath, and attending religious services nightly; and in places where one would not expect to find a Bible, I find men reading it. They have become like the Bereans, who searched the Scriptures daily to see if these things are so.” “I met a man this evening who said to me, ‘Doctor, I have served the devil all my life, and I am going from this time forward to serve God as well as I have served the devil.’ So you can see that the seed has not all fallen upon the rocks or among brambles.” “In the stores or shops, in the streets or on the sidewalk, if I see a group of men talking, I am sure to hear ‘old law,’ ‘new law,’ ‘covenant,’ or ‘ten commandments,’ as a part of their conversation; or they are telling what Eld. Bowers said, or what Eld. Burrill said, or what Sly said, on some portion of the Bible. And instead of meeting a half dozen men drunk and riotous, as you would a few years since, men are going to church or reading the Bible at home; and I must say, although a man outside of the church, that his coming among us is resulting in good to society, and I earnestly hope to the good cause. Yours,
“CHARLES O. ADAMS.”
