Sabbath Keepers in Hubbardston
By Joseph Bates
Dear Bro. White :—Since my last meeting with our brethren in Fairhaven, Mass., I have visited Berlin, Conn., also Springfield, Worcester, and this place in Mass., where I have been holding meetings for several days past. While in Springfield, I learned from the brethren that several brethren in this place (Hubbardston) had recently commenced keeping the weekly Sabbath of the Bible. On my arrival here I learned that their ministers (the timeists) had been laboring to show them that they had taken a wrong position. One has been added to their number since we commenced our meetings, and others we trust will unite with them. They are hungry for all the present truth. The paper and tracts which Bro. and Sr. Haskell sent for, (see Review, No. 22,) have come to hand, and they are reading with interest, and ask why it is, that we have never seen the light on these important subjects before. They are anxious to have all the tracts that teach our Bible position, and in another place you have their names for the Review, and Youth's Instructor. My labors close here this evening. From this I think of proceeding northward to Vt. and N. H. Hubbardston, Mass., Feb., 12th, 1855.
