Labor in Maine.

By L. L. HOWARD

In accordance with the counsel of my preaching brethren, Canright, Stratton, and Blissdell, I have been visiting the churches at Topsham and Portland.

I had a very pleasant visit at Bro. Howland's in Topsham. He is a veteran in the cause of present truth. Good union prevails among the members of the church there. The meetings were solemn and interesting. Social meetings were refreshing. There is a good prospect of some more taking up the cross and going with the remnant people of God.

At Portland, last Sabbath and first-day. The church has been weakened by removals and deaths.

Bro. Parker having fallen asleep, and Bro. Lunt and another member of the church having moved away, they have been left in rather a weak state. They seem in good union, but rather low in spirit. There are some interested in looking at the Sabbath question. I trust in due time time they will take up the cross. They need a faithful laborer among them. I pray the Lord of the harvest to raise up more laborers, men of godliness and faith, to work in the vineyard, gathering in the ripening harvest.

L. L. HOWARD.
