GEORGIA

By C. O. Taylor

Reynolds, Sept. 14.—After an absence of four months, we are again at this place. During the time we have driven our faithful horse thirteen hundred and fifty miles. I was weary before starting, but duty urged. After traveling many miles, laboring hard and seeing no fruit, we are sometimes ready to ask, What good has been accomplished? Such have been my thoughts in regard to the labor put forth in South Carolina. But a letter written by a first-day Adventist minister, to friends here, has cheered me much. I copy from it:—

“Bro. C. O. Taylor’s visit has been a blessing to me. I never saw the heavenly sanctuary as I now see it. Oh! it is a great subject. Bro. T. gave me several works which I appreciate very much. The S. D. Adventists are right on the Sabbath. It is the Lord’s day, and should be kept. We are evidently in the time of the third angel’s message, when the keeping of the Sabbath of the Lord will be the sign of his people. Last Sunday I spoke from Dan. 8, on the cleansing of the sanctuary. The Lord helped me, and I trust some good was done.”

At Watauga Co., N. C., I left fifteen keeping the Sabbath. Six received baptism, and entered into church covenant. They are growing in all the truth. Others will unite with them soon. Brethren having back numbers of Good Health, who wish to have them doing good, may send them to J. P. Hodge, Boone, Watauga Co., N. C. He will put them to good use. Several counties in that part of the State, are the best fields for labor that I have found in the South.
