Bro. Johnston Converted to Sabbath Keeping at Lafayette
Bro. John W. Johnston writes from Boggstown, Shelby Co., Ind., as follows:— I have been thrown among your people at Lafayette, Ind., by the sickness of my wife. I thought when I went there I would learn all I could about the treatment of the sick; but before I was aware of it I was interested in reading some tracts on the Sabbath and the prophecies. I became fully convinced of my error in keeping the first day of the week as the Sabbath, and determined, at all hazards, to obey God and keep his commandments. My wife's health has improved, so that we have returned home. We are trying to keep the Sabbath, and I want a good farm hand, also a housekeeper that understands all kinds of housework, who are Sabbath-keepers. I would like to have some of your ministers come and labor with us a while; for I am all alone here, and the people are greatly prejudiced.
