Report from Bro. Lawrence.
By R. J. LAWRENCE
My last report was from Belleville, Ohio, Dec. 19. I remained there until the 22d, holding meetings and visiting. Then I returned to Fredricktown, arranged my box of books, and Tuesday, the 25th, went to Appleton, Licking Co., where I commenced a course of lectures in the Christian meeting-house, with the understanding that we should have it until we finished our lectures. But after four weeks, they started a protracted meeting in the house without saying a word to us about it; hence, Jan. 29, we moved to a school-house, one mile and a half out. The same evening I received a letter from home, summoning me there in the shortest possible time. Accordingly I started on the morning of the 30th, at four o'clock A. M., and arrived at home the 31st, at ten A. M. My wife had been suddenly and violently attacked with inflammation on the lungs and pleurisy. She was better when I reached home, and is now recovering. I am holding meetings every other evening in Oakland. I find the state of religion low here. I shall do all I can for them while I remain, and would be glad if Bro. Loughborough or some other efficient laborer could come and spend a little time with me here. Yours in harmony with all the truths advocated by this people under the third angel's message.
