Spreading Present Truth in Elgin
Sister S. Lyon writes from Elgin, Iowa: "I can say truly that it is good to serve the Lord, though almost alone, there being but one family of Sabbath-keepers within eight miles. Some lovers of present truth sent me some books and papers last summer, for which I am very thankful. I have scattered them about among my neighbors, praying God to bless those silent messengers to the good of many souls. I believe there are some honest souls in Elgin that will see the light and walk in it. I often ask myself, Can I do anything to advance the cause of present truth? Will God bless the feeble efforts that I may make in behalf of his law that has been so long trampled even in the dust? Paul says that God sometimes makes use of the foolish things of this world to confound the wise, and the weak things of this world to confound the mighty. May God bless the messengers, and send some of them here, that the people in this place may hear the third angel's message, and be sealed with the people of God."
