AMONG THE ISOLATED
February 21 1 visited Brother Nystei
at Meridian. There are but two fam-
ilies, members of what is called the
Clifton church, and they live twelve
miles apart. I had intended to be with
them the previous Sabbath but when
the cold wave came, 1 knew they would
not be able to get together. Of course
we could not expect to get together for
any meeting during the week, so I pro-
ceded on my way toward Comanche.
The only way I could reach Comanche .
wag by way of Dublin, where I stayed
at a hotel that night. The name of one
isolated Sabbath keeper was on. my
list, but I was not able to find any one
who knew of such a person near there.
The next day I passed through Coman-
che on my way to Brownwood, staying
that night with an old man and his son
who were at one time Sabbath keepers.
This was the father and brother of
Sister Dockery and her three sisters
who live here in Keene. Both of these
received me kindly, and as we talked of
the searching truths for this time and
prayed together they seemed to be
greatly moved.
I arrived in Brownwood the next
forenoon. Here I met two Keenites,
Mr. Stoner. and Kemp Plunket. The
only Adventist in the city, Sister Gill,
was visited as soon as I was able to lo-
cate where she lived. Until recently
the few Sabbath keepers in this place
have been meeting at her house. I
stayed that night with Brother T. C.
Nystel, who lives eight miles west of
town. Next day we visited Sister
Faulkner who lives seven miles on the
other side of town. It was here that
we had planned to hold meetings until
the following Sunday night, but found
that the Baptists were using their
church at this time.
disappointment to Sister Faulkner who
has long hoped for a meeting to be held
in her community. Not being able to
bold this meeting, I proceeded to Cole-
man. Here I called upon Sister Quinn,
“and an old brother named Shipman.
The latter I found lying at the point of
death from old age and a paralytic
stroke. At his house I met an old man
by the name of Duke who said he used
to keep the Sabbath. That night I
stayed with Brother C. W. Davis who
lives six miles north of Coleman.
From Coleman I went to Silver Val-
ley, where I visited Sister Buck and

Sister Lowry. These two sisters,
though they have had but little encour-
agement in the family or community,
are endeavoring to live out the truth.
Though I did not know her by that
name, | had met Sister Lowry years
ago when her first husband was living,
while I labored in Kansas. I had plan-
ned to pass by way of Baird, where we
have the names of two sisters on our
isolated list. 1 could reach there only
through Abilene, and when I reached
this place I found it would be in the
night before I would reach Baird while
I could reach Breckenridge much ear-
lier and could then be with the little
company there over the Sabbath. I
found this’ little company of good
courage. Some of them were away that
Sabbath, and a number of others, who
were dependent upon husbands who are
not in the truth, were situated so that
they could not come to a meeting Sun-
day night, so we called off the meeting
for that night. This was well, for the
cold wave, followed later by rain,
weculd no doubt have prevented the
meeting anyway. I. A. CRANE.

BINGER TO DUNCAN
Elder Clark and I drove over from
Weatherford February 23 and visited
several families nestled in the quiet
coves of Sugar Creek and all met at
Binger church in the evening. It
would have been well if we could have
spent several days with the earnest band
and hope that can be arranged for
later.
After some morning visits and a
brief visit to the church school con-
ducted by Miss Will, we separated, El-
der Clark going to the conference
office and 1 drove down to Anadarko,
spending a few hours with the be-
lievers, and real glad to find a new
Sabbath-keeper in the number.
PAGE FIVE
The shades of nightfall were spent in
Cement where we have several mem-
bers though no organization at present.
After a brief stop with Grandma
Walker at Rush Springs I reached
Duncan, meeting with the little band
at the beginning of the Sabbath as
well as the other services. *
A new place of meeting has to be se-
cured and there is a general feeling
that it is time to arise and build. You
may read more from Duncan soon.

WEATHERFORD SANITARIUM
It has been a privilege to watch the
growth of this institution from a cot-
tage of a few -years ago to a modest
sanitarium that can care for twenty-
five or more patients. Ten years ago
Dr. D. Gaede and one nurse cared for
all, now they have about ten helpers.
A small class of nurses are trained
here and it was a privilege to be pres-
ent February 22 at the graduation ex-
ercises when three earnest young people
had completed their course.
The church was well filled with citi-
zens of Weatherford who listened with
interest to a program both interesting
and instructive. Doctor Gaede outlined
the work they were endeavoring to do;
the young people expressed their loyal-
ty to the principles and desires to do
faithfully their work. Elder W. H.
Clark spoke of the rise and. progress of
the medical missionary work.
Our best wishes and prayers go with
these workers as they endeavor to
carry out the class motto, ‘‘To the Un-
finished Task.”’ C. J. DART.
THE RESURRECTION OF CHRIST
is the key miracle upon which Christ-
ianity must stand, asserts Elder R. F.
Cottrel in his splendid series of three
articles beginning in the April 5 Signs.
The titles are: ‘The Testimony of
Four Eyewitnesses,”’ ‘“The Testimony
of Contemporary History,”” and ‘‘The
Testimony of Christianity.” Read
these enlightening articles, provoked
by the inquiry of an earnest seeker for
truth. ]
These articles will come out just at
Easter time, when the whole world is
thinking about the resurrection. Get
a good supply for your friends and
neighbors. The set of three to any ad-
