REPORT FROM BRO. HASKELL.
By Stephen N. Haskell
Bro. Rodman and myself have now been here about four weeks. The Lord has seemed to bless our feeble efforts. Eight have decided to keep the commandments of God. Quite a number of others are interested. The people here are stirred up to study the Bible as never before. The store, (the only public place in the village,) being a common resort for the people, much of the time is a scene of Biblical discussion among themselves. There seems to be a general conviction with those that have heard that we have the truth. It has been a time of general sickness here as elsewhere, so much so that the second week we postponed some of our meetings in view of it, and visited the sick. We have now given thirty-two discourses, and the interest seems to increase rather than abate. The Lord is evidently in the place. Blakeville is a small village in the town of Rindge. The people here are generally a candid, well-meaning, and industrious people. Pray for us, that many may decide for God and his truth. Last Friday we were much cheered by the arrival of Bro. Canright, who has given two discourses, one on the perpetuity of the law, and one on some of the common objections to the seventh day, with good effect. May the Lord prosper his truth is our humble prayer. Blakeville, N. H., Feb. 17, 1869.
