GEORGE SMITH

By George Smith

From Bro. Smith.

BRO. SMITH: The Lord is at work in this city. I came here a little more than one year ago, and then there was no one to keep the Sabbath in the Third Message, but we have a little church here now of thirteen, who come together on the Sabbath of the Lord. We have meetings also on the evening of Fourth day; and on First day, and the Lord is blessing us, and is adding to our numbers such as shall be saved in the day of his coming. The people want to hear on the subject of the Sabbath, and as I have seen their desire to hear and understand, I have cried to the Lord to send some one to this place to preach to this people. Cannot Bro. M. E. Cornell or Bro. J. Bates come here? I would say through the Review to them or to any of the saints of the Lord, who may feel it their duty to come here, that I will pay their expenses to and from this city. I feel like taking hold anew in this glorious work of the Lord, and laboring while the day lasts; for in a little from this we shall receive a glorious reward and enter into that rest that remains for the people of God.

Remember me in your prayers.
