REYNOLDS, GA.

By C. O. Taylor

This place is sixty miles from Griffin, in direct line from Griffin to Brooks Co. I found twelve here who had identified themselves with the advent faith as taught by first-day Adventists. They were decided and firm on the “life and death question,” with as much faith in the soon coming of the Lord. I was with them ten days, speaking fifteen times. As the result, twelve entered into covenant to keep all the commandments of God, and not forget Heb. 10:25. They appointed a leader and arranged for a Bible-class and Sabbath-school by appointing a superintendent. There is much interest in this section of the State. The prospect for future labor is good. With a consistent walk on the part of those now believing, a large company may yet come to the faith.

On my way to Griffin, I became acquainted with Bro. J. S. Wimbish. About one year ago he gave himself to the ministry. He has received the advent faith in part. He is very clear and decided in his faith on the nature of man, state of the dead, &c. He possesses moral worth, is very decided, and bold to defend what he knows to be right and truth. He wants the truth. I am to meet him again here. He has spoken to this people once a month during the past summer. I hope he will yet stand firm on all the points of present truth.
