A Call for a Messenger
By M. W. NEAL
Bro. M. W. NEAL writes from Clark Co., Iowa: Some have moved into this place, others have come out upon the truth by the reading of our publications, so that we now have interesting Sabbath meetings. Yesterday, Sabbath, notwithstanding the hand of affliction kept my wife, mother, and sister, away from the place of worship, yet thirteen took part in the meeting; and judging from the tearful eyes, others present felt much interested; and still there are others who are investigating. Yesterday we took an expression of those assembled in meeting, to know how many thought that a messenger might do much good here though he could stay but a short time, and we had a unanimous vote. Four expressed their wish to be baptized as soon as a messenger could come to administer the ordinance. I would say to the honor of those who have come out upon the truth by the reading of our publications, that they are no tobacco nor pork veterans; but are health reformers, and were such, before they read our publications. Cannot Bro. Cornell, or Bro. Butler, one or both, come this way soon? If they can come by way of railroad they will stop at Woodburn Station, and call on John I. Morrison, and he will convey them with a team to my house at any time.
