Report from Bro. Rodman.

I HAVE held meetings here for over two weeks, giving some twenty discourses in all. The weather has not been so favorable for people to get out, as it is sometimes, yet there has been a good attendance, and they have listened with apparent interest.
Last evening, I closed my meetings to attend to other engagements. I took an expression of the meeting, to know how many were persuaded that the seventh day was the Bible Sabbath, and nearly the whole congregation arose. I then requested all that would try to keep all the commandments, not excepting the fourth, to arise, when twelve or fifteen arose, eight of them beginners in this noblest of works, obeying God.
I see no reason why they, and others, will not hold on to this decision, although there is such strong opposition. If they seek help of the Lord to obey him, he will strengthen them to go on to the end. I hope to return again soon. Till then, may angels watch the truth and keep away the enemy, to the honor of God.
P. C. RODMAN.
