SPRING BROOK, WASHINGTON TERRITORY.
By A. Benson
THE success of the truth in this community during the past four weeks, shows that there are those among the hills and valleys of the Puget Sound country, as well as in the cities, who can be moved by the word and Spirit of God; and that, while there are many who may refuse to investigate or heed the claims of God's holy word, its prophetic truths, obligations, and promises, still there are some who, like the Bereans of old, referred to by Luke in Acts 17:11, may be classed as noble because they receive the word readily, and search the Scriptures daily to see if these things are true. One hundred and four Bible-readings have been given among eleven families during the past four weeks by the writer, and as a result thirteen adult persons (all but one heads of families) have signed the covenant to keep God's commandments and the faith of Jesus. Some others are nearly decided. These, with one other family of three persons, make sixteen. Last Sabbath after a discourse from Rev. 18:1-4, a Sabbath-school was organized. Between twenty and thirty were present, and all took an active interest. A club of Instructors and a dozen song books were ordered. Thirteen subscriptions for our different publication were also obtained. Brother Wm. Potter, of the Seattle mission, expects to follow up the work. May the Lord hear the prayers of all who are interested in the work of God.
