Elliottstown, May 6.
We have now been laboring in Elliottstown about four weeks, during which time the people in the neighborhood have manifested quite an interest to hear the word spoken. Many have seen the truth and are framing excuses for not obeying it; others, we cannot now tell just how many, have commenced keeping the Sabbath of the Lord.
When we came to Ellingham county three months ago, there were no Sabbath-keepers here, and the weather was very rainy, and the roads at times were almost impassable. But as the result of our labors, about twenty-seven within four miles of us are now keeping the Sabbath, and quite a number are desirous of going forward in baptism at the first opportunity. For this we feel to thank God, and we can but exclaim in the language of the psalmist, “Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul.” G. F. SHONK.
