Sabbath Work in Maine

By Abram Barnes

From Bro. Barnes.

I HAVE just returned from Clinton, Maine, where I have been holding a few meetings. I came to this place Jan. 21, and have stopped about twenty days. Have given fifteen lectures and had four social meetings. A good work has been going on notwithstanding the opposition that has been arrayed against the truth. The Spirit of God has convicted the honest in

heart, and they feel that these solemn truths must be obeyed. Five have come out and embraced the Sabbath of the Lord. A number more say they are convinced that they ought to keep it, but are waiting for more strength. There are now ten Sabbath-keepers here. They have established a regular Sabbath meeting, &c. I got three subscribers for the Instructor.

I closed the meetings in this place with a good degree of satisfaction. I hope to see all the honest in heart join the commandment keepers and go to the city of God. ABRAM BARNES.
