Note from Bro. Bates.

By Joseph Bates

DEAR BRO. SMITH : I have been holding a series of meetings here the last week. One family have decided to go to Mt. Zion with the remnant. Others are investigating; among them are some Dutch and Germans. They want to see the Sabbath question written in their own language. Please send me by mail three Holland and three German tracts on the Sabbath.
I came into this region the last week in January. I have been with the church in Wright the four last Sabbaths, and out in the dark places in the vicinity on the working days, endeavoring to arouse the people with the solemn warning of the last message of mercy. In some places they have no ears to hear, while in others they have. Said the Saviour:
"He that heareth you, heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me. And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord even the devils are subject to us through thy name." Luke x, 16, 17. Even thus it will be with those who faithfully sound the warning message of the third angel.
When a ship is about to stand on the other tack to weather the dangerous lee shore, the loud cry of the commander is sounded fore and aft, Stations there! Even so the Commander-in-chief of all the remnant of Israel is calling loudly throughout the wide harvest field, Stations there! STATIONS THERE!!
