TNTERBSTINC? ■ LETTER FROM A 1 - CHINESE, MISSIONARY; Taiyilanfu, Shansi, China,' T ; July 4, 1914. Mr. D. Nield, . 148 Tasman St., Wellington, N.Z. Dear Brother,— Greetings in the .name of Jesus! Your land letter of May 7 duly at hand. May the blessings from God our Father, richly follow you in the noble work of heralding the truth to the flock of our one Shepherd. Many thanks for the good tracts you so kindly sent me. Last time !I. went, but; to. China (from U.S.A.) my mind was troubled about losing the Sabbath out- in the ' Pacifio Ocean. : T went' to bed 'about' sunset o) Friday; When'l woke np .in the morning it'was heralded'through the vessel that it. was Sunday. -I: told 1 thepeopb that they were, wrong: . "No," they isaid, "Wo have : dropped one. "whole, day.' Prom that time up till 'I got your tracts my mind was troubled about the words,-.-'-'Dropped one whole day." 1 knew that the sun could' not have gone astray, neither oould'the earth have jumped, a space of 24 hours (about 24,000 miles) whilo I was as'.oep. When I got your tract, "Eden's Day-line," .EVERYTHING ABOUT THE "LOST DAY" CLEARED. UP . fco: my mind. Surely we must start thf flay where - God started it. .Wherever we, are, we must keep the Sabbath wht>" it comes-to us., I- see that I, together with all Sabbath-keepers, are really sixth day-keepers on this side of. the 180 th (meridian). It is really a wonder to me that tho spirit of prophecy has not revealod that beforo. 'Plus only question seems to be proof enough that Sister White is hot a true prophet at all, and those who follow, or worship her, W led to break the Lord's Holy Sabbath every, week. Shame on such a prophet, who is a 'stumbling-block to . the people of the Most High. : The other tracts were meat in due season. I thank God for the light, anil I thank, you for your kindness in sending me'so many precious thoughts. Every tract is filled with plain Bible troths. Glory to God for the Biblo! I should be much thankful if you could afford to send me a few. more of the same tracts you sent; if I wero at the coast I would gladly, send money for the tracts. I will do all I can to let tho "Sixth Day Advontisf.' people out hero know that they are breaking the Sabbath of Jehovah. I helievb'that time .has come when God is calling o\it a people who dare to stand up for the truth as it is found in the Bible. A German family has come up here \to help in" the work.. I handed the. tracts abo'ut the "Day line" and "Good Friday;" He said: "Christ is the true witness, , so,'according to His own word, Hoi died on Wednesday afternoon, and rose on Sabbath, about the same hour of that, diy when He died." About the "Day line;-" he madc .a globe o£ a newspaper, and started his calculation whirr God started, and when he came to the tSOth, he Said: "SHALL',I DROP, OR CAN I DROP, ONE WHOLE DAY?" "NO," he said, and he went on till he got to the place where God', started the very Sabbath. Then he said: ,"God and Brother Nield are right," 'and .so it is Amen, I want to believe the Bible, even' if I should be rejected by men and cast out onco more, as I'was cast out from the S.D.A. Church. If we aro rejected and cast out for tho truth's sake, we ought to rejoice and be exceeding glad, knowing that we are members, of tho household of .God. . . '. When the space in tho world'gets too narrow for us, He will then take us to a wider country. Yout Brother, E. I'ILQUIST, 'i A Missionary in China for 20 years.
