REYNOLDS, GA.

By C. O. Taylor

Since my last report, one more here has commenced to keep the Sabbath, and others are almost persuaded. We have hired a hall in the center of the village, where we hold our Sabbath meetings. Several new ones were in last Sabbath. I speak to the people once in three weeks on Sunday. The church members are quite strongly prejudiced against us on account of the Sabbath. We are in hopes some will be more favorable after they have examined it.

We have received a cheering letter from a young lady in Brooks county, who was fully convinced on the Sabbath when we were there last year, but did not commence to keep it then. She writes: “With the blessed hope of gaining Heaven, I am still trying to follow the way that Jesus has laid down in his word, ‘resting the seventh day.’” She also says that her father has left off the use of tobacco, which he had said he should never give up. He has embraced the Bible view of the nature of man, state of the dead, and inheritance of the saints, and was quite fully convinced on the Sabbath, but turned from it. God can bring him back.

To those requesting names and addresses for the SIGNS, I would say, I will send them as I get other names. I sent those I had to the first that called for them. I am grateful for the interest the friends are taking in the work South. The thousands of copies of the SIGNS, and the other reading matter sent South, are doing a silent work, of which but few, if any, are aware.
