THE following from a sister in Georgia shows how the hearts of the people in places of which we have no knowledge are being prepared for the reception of the truth. From such cases as those mentioned herein, may we not suppose that there are myriads in a similar condition, waiting and hungering for the truth? And when we think of the shortness of time, and the increasing difficulties and perils of the way, to what zeal and energy should we be moved to place the light before those who are stretching up their hands to God for it, and to whom God designs that we should be instrumental in bearing it, since by his providence he has placed it in our hands. The letter is dated Reynolds, Ga., Nov. 13, 1878, and reads:— “Over a year ago, a few first-day Adventists here were conversing together, and one remarked that we were at a standstill; no progress being made by us, nor by our paper, The Crisis. Another said, ‘It seems to me we ought to have a sealing message.’ Not two weeks after, the Lord sent Bro. Taylor and wife to teach us the way more perfectly. In one hour after he came, he had a room full of hearers. He hung up his chart and explained it. As soon as he spoke about the sanctuary, we all felt that here was something for our attention. He staid with us and preached fifteen sermons, and fifteen signed the covenant to keep the seventh day as the Sabbath. We have had regular165prayer-meetings and Sabbath-school from that time. Since we have entered the school of Christ, we find that we were wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked, and we have gone to work to buy gold, eye-salve, and white raiment.” An account of the general meeting in Reynolds then follows, which we omit, as it was given by Bro. Taylor last week.
