ALABAMA

By A. O. Burrill

We have now been here ten days, laboring with those who have begun Sabbath observance. We have organized a church of eighteen members, and there are about fifteen more who will soon join us. I shall give them a short course of lectures. They had their meeting-house burned a few weeks ago. We hope to see another in its place soon.

Our brethren in the North know nothing about poverty compared with what is seen in this section. We get our mail only twice each week. We find the law very oppressive on the Sabbath here. We can begin tent labor about the first of March. We very much desire the prayers of God's people. A. O. Burrill.
