REYNOLDS, GEORGIA.

By C. O. Taylor

Many thanks to those that have sent me papers. Some of the boxes have come; others will. When they all arrive, I shall have all I want for some time. Pamphlets and tracts will be very acceptable. One box contains REVIEWS, INSTRUCTORS, SIGNS, quite a number of Family Almanacs of 1875, and some copies of the “Bird’s-eye View of the Great Field of Prophecy.” On the Signs and Reviews is the name of F. W. Mace; on THE VOICE OF TRUTH is the name of John W. Clement. Will the sender let me know who he is?

I have been handing out reading matter to several persons to-day. I am much pleased to see with what deep interest the experience and views of sister White are read by those who are keeping the Sabbath here. They are anxious to learn and know the truth. A first-day Adventist minister from the North, now laboring in this county, has been reading sister White’s writings for a few days past. He remarked to me that by reading the Crisis he came to the conclusion that she was a spiritualist, but on reading her works he sees she is very far from being one. No doubt others are equally deceived.

Many first-day Adventists feel toward Seventh-day Adventists very much as the churches do toward them. The “craft and cunning” of certain writers in the paper referred to is fast being seen by the honest who have been under their influence, and they will leave them for a more consistent advent faith.

I shall write to all who have asked for addresses to which to send the SIGNS, as soon as possible. I am sowing much seed for others to gather the precious fruit. There will be much for others to do here after I have done all I can. At times I am much pressed with the amount of labor I see to do. My health has failed somewhat of late, and old diseases that I had not felt for a year are coming back. This makes me feel sad, yet in God I trust. Pray for me and mine. C. O. TAYLOR.
