Note from Bro. Lawrence.
By R. J. Lawrence
BRO. WHITE: Last Sabbath and first day, I met with the church in Memphis. Though it was stormy and cold, there was a good attendance on the Sabbath on the part of the church. The Lord helped to present the truth, also we had a good social meeting. The testimonies were good. On first-day our congregation was larger than on the Sabbath, and in the evening the congregation was large, notwithstanding there was a protracted meeting in progress by the united efforts of the three denominations of this place. The interest here seems to be good. The church seemed encouraged. There has been a strong effort made on the part of the Methodist preacher, Mr. Kelly, to destroy the Adventists and their influence, but they hold on firm. May the Lord help them to hold on to the end. Yours striving to do all I can for the truth.
