Boone, Watauga Co., N. C.
By C. O. Taylor
ON coming to this place I find some reading matter which has been sent to be distributed. Many thanks. I can give away, to good advantage, all that friends wish to send. I find here, in Watauga Co., four families keeping the Sabbath. They have taken a firm stand on all the commandments of God, simply from reading. Their influence in favor of the truth is good. They have done what they could in sending out reading matter, and it has created a desire to hear. It prepares the way in this section for me to speak to the people. Many are quite fully convinced that we are right on the Sabbath. Those friends that have sent our publications to Bro. Hodges and223others to be distributed, will not lose their reward. Any who have reading matter which they would like to dispose of in a way to be doing good, can send it here directed to L. P. Hodges. I find a much larger opening to speak the truth in this part of the State than I expected. I had supposed my labors would be confined to this county, but already through the kindness of a friend whose mind is much awakened to the Sabbath and other truths held by us, appointments have been given out in other counties for several weeks ahead. From present observations, I think this may be the best field of labor I have seen in the South. I shall do all I can to get the truth before the people.
