NORTHERN ITALY.

By D. T. Bourdeau

TORRE PELLICE AND ST. JOHN.—I have given twelve discourses in these places, besides traveling much on foot, and the interest is unabating. I speak ten times a week, and find Bro. Vuilleumier a valuable helper; and best of all, the Spirit of God is with us.

Yesterday (Sabbath) we had two precious meetings at Sr. Revel’s on a mountain side about two and a half miles distant. At the close several persons promised to obey the truth. Many tears of joy and gratitude were shed, especially by Sr. R., who had so long kept the Sabbath alone. Among those who arose in favor of the truth was a man who had lately been led to keep the Sabbath by one not keeping it, who is now among the obedient. May we not expect that he will accomplish far more now that his life is in accordance with his teachings? Several persons have been killed by the fall of housetops under the ponderous weight of heavy snows during the late snow-storm,—the greatest that has been witnessed here for half a century. D. T. BOURDEAU.
