Note from Bro. Matteson.
By John Matteson
At Wautoma I stayed about two weeks, and delivered twelve lectures. There was not interest enough to continue the meetings. Two churches exerted their influence to keep others away, and were successful. They would not go in themselves, and those who would they suffered not. The preachers told the people that they must regulate their lives by the word of God, and keep his commandments if they would obtain eternal life, but they would hear nothing about practicing their own theory. I then went to Burr Oak where I have been laboring since. There is much interest in this place to hear, and the meetings are well attended. On the Sabbath the brethren come together from a distance, and we have had good Sabbath-meetings. We are still laboring in hope that some good may be done, and that souls may be brought to a saving knowledge of the truth. May the Lord be with us, and bless his little flock, is my prayer.
