BARNSTON, P. Q.

By R. S. Owen

The attendance here has been good. When the Sabbath was presented, the enemy seemed to think it time to work. One man said, “You may be right, but I don’t want to be convinced.” On coming to the next meeting, not knowing but the doors would be closed against us, we were happily surprised to find that the truth had more friends than ever, and warmer ones. And some good openings have resulted. Our opponents, gaining nothing in their opposition, gave it up. We now continue meetings in three places. The interest is good, but only a few have any experience in religion. We have made forty-two visits, and found only three families where they bowed the knee in prayer.
The Sabbath-keepers in Barford are of good courage. Bro. C. F. Worthen has just been with us, and assisted in organizing a T. and M. Society. His work was highly appreciated. These friends take four hundred Annuals to circulate. May God bless their missionary efforts. The first Sabbath-keepers here were led into the truth from receiving tracts from some one in Iowa; now they wish to extend the favor to others.
