NORTH CAROLINA.

By L. P. Hodges

Watauga and Wilkes Counties.—I visited Wilkes county last October, and found one sister keeping the Sabbath. Had the privilege of talking with several First-day Adventists, some of whom became very much interested. I distributed a great many tracts and papers; and since my return to my home in Watauga county, I have mailed “United States in Prophecy,” “The Truth Found,” and other tracts and pamphlets. As the result, two more in that county have commenced keeping the Sabbath, and others are interested.

I visited a Sabbath-keeping family in the south-western portion of Watauga county, and spoke twice. The Lord gave me liberty, and some are interested. We hope to see others here take their stand on all the commandments of God. The quarterly meeting of the Watauga

church, Jan. 3, 4, was very encouraging. The Lord helped in speaking. All paid some of their s. b. One united with us in church fellowship, and others will join us at our next quarterly meeting.

Here in the mountains of North Carolina we need a good S. D. A. minister. It takes patience to labor here, but I am convinced that a great deal of good could be accomplished. We hope to have help next season; we need it. L. P. HODGES.
