Isolated from ecclesias and mixing daily with those of different faiths, holding on to the Truth became very difficult.

Few know that Robert Roberts, the first Editor of The Christadelphian, and the source of much of our original literature, was on the continent seven times from 1871 to 1898. He crisscrossed west to east, north to Nova Scotia, and south to Virginia.
