"Then they that feared the Lord spake often one to another."
From Bro. Bourdeaux.
BRO. SMITH : I have the pleasure of informing you that my brother Daniel has just returned from Canada with cheering intelligence. He says, "The Lord only knows what difficulties I have been called to pass through since I left Vermont! But notwithstanding all my trials, I have been blessed abundantly. I have got an insight into my character—learned, to a certain degree, what the Lord requires at my hands, and have been permitted to speak of the present truth to many honest-hearted Christians. Three of those to whom I have spoken feel persuaded that the seventh day is the Bible Sabbath; and others are studying silently the Scriptures to know all their duties agreeably to the moral law and the testimony of Jesus."
He freed himself of his position as a teacher, about a week ago. Since that time he has had the pleasure of speaking on the present truth to his dear Christian friends at St. Remi, St. Constant, Montreal and Grand Ligne.
His intention is not to follow the opinions of learned men; "for," saith he, "I see that those who oppose the truth, though learned, contradict one another, and that those who defend the truth, though sincere, are nothing but frail, imperfect beings, deriving their knowledge from the only source of revealed truth, the Bible."
In haste, your French brother.
A. C. BOURDEAUX.
