A LETTER FROM ENGLAND.

By Henry Veysey

To Editors of REVIEW AND HERALD.

Although not nominally one with you, it is my earnest desire to know and spread the truth. There are five of us who broke bread together last week, as desiring to obey all God’s commandments, and two others who were hindered from being present. These are Sabbath-keepers.

A large number of friends are more or less interested in the truth. From one of these, a commercial traveler among so-called Christadelphians, I received the following:—

“I have been reading some of the Sabbath papers you sent me, and trust I shall be enabled not only to understand, but to obey the commands of God on this important subject of seventh-day observance; but we must be thoroughly convinced before we should obey the truth on any point; and although I shall have to contend with ridicule and opposition in many forms, pray that God will enable me to understand his will in this matter, and afterward to comply with the requirements of his word.”

Several besides the seven above noticed are interested in the Lord’s Sabbath. In the autumn I was enabled to give a series of lectures at a seaport sixteen miles north of us. In about three weeks we shall dismiss school for the winter vacation; then I hope to visit Bro. Loughborough at Southampton, and trust I shall be able to do more for the Lord.

I have been personally an abstainer from flesh meat for five or six years; my dear wife, for eight months. We keep no intoxicants in the house, and my wife is thinking of trying to give up tea. May God bless your work.

Yours in the Lord, HENRY VEYSEY.

Somerset Co., Nov. 21, 1879.
