The Work at Norridgewock.
By John Nevins Andrews
I AM happy to report some progress in the work of the Lord in this place. Between seventy and eighty in this vicinity are now observing the Bible Sabbath, and quite a large number of others seem almost decided to obey this great truth. Many of those who began to observe the Sabbath, were not professors of religion, and it has seemed imperatively necessary that the work should be continued in this place until these persons became truly converted to the Lord. Besides the usual Sabbath and first-day meetings, the most of the days have been spent in visiting from house to house, and in pleading earnestly with each person that they should seek the Saviour, and a great part of the evenings have been devoted to such meeting as seemed best adapted to the existing circumstances. Quite a number have found the Saviour. Others are still seeking him. We have a pleasant house of worship capable of accommodating a State conference. We have also a prosperous Sabbath-School which has been attended during the winter by some forty children. It has seemed to be clearly duty to continue our labors during the winter as we have mainly in this vicinity. Bro. Cornell has now returned to Michigan, being much in need of rest. I trust he will return in due time. How much longer I shall remain I cannot now say. But I wish to see the work so established that it shall not be readily overthrown by Satan. Brethren pray for us in this place.
