Sabbath Keepers Granted Time Off

The manner in which Providence has opened the way for some of our Sabbath keepers in India is stated in a recent number of Field Tidings: "Not infrequently we have occasion to realize that the Lord has an individual care for his people. Very interesting and encouraging has it been to note that as different men employed in government service here in India have decided to keep the Sabbath of the Lord, they have been able to retain their positions. Especially thankful are the brethren at Simla just now, that Brother Mills has been granted his Sabbath off. At first, when he stated that he must observe the Sabbath, his superior officers did not see their way clear to allow him to continue his work and absent himself on the Sabbath. However, recently we learned that those in whose power it lies to grant such requests had given a favorable reply. This considerate action on the part of the government is felt to be a direct answer to continued prayer."
