A gambler at Reno, Nevada, was walking through the railway station when his eye caught sight of some papers called Signs of the Times. Here is what he says: "I took some of them home and was surprised to find what they told in regard to Bible truths. That's why I sent for your Bible course."

Paul came down to Oron as a trader. His parents were Adventists, but when he came away from home he forgot all about the Sabbath, and did his business as usual on that day. After about a year he rented a room from an old lady, who seemed always to be studying her Bible. They used to talk together about the Bible sometimes. One day she asked Paul about the Sabbath, and wanted to know why the churches kept Sunday, the first day, instead of Saturday, the seventh day of the week. Paul explained the truth to her, and together they began keeping the Sabbath. So God Paul Ekpendu (third from left, back row) with group of Sabbathkeepers that he helped to raise up in Oron, Nigeria.
