THE NEW ENGLAND MISSION.

By John Nevins Andrews

I HAVE spent the third and fourth Sabbaths in July in Washington, N. H. The first Sabbath was a day of much rain and few of the brethren from other towns attended. But our second Sabbath in this place brought together quite a goodly number of those who love the law of God. Tuesday before this meeting I was happy to welcome Bro. Howard, with whom I hope to spend a considerable season in labor. I think the meetings in this place have already accomplished some good. Our friends here have labored under very great discouragements, but we think that there is a prospect of better days.

Next Sabbath we design to spend in Amherst where Bro. Gage labored for some time preceding his removal to Battle Creek. In two weeks from last Sabbath one or both of us will return to this place again. We wish to assure the brethren in N. H. that we will meet all the calls made on us as fast as in the order of God's providence we can. Duty plainly demanded that our labors should begin at this place. Others who have long-standing promises of labor in their places shall not be forgotten. Pray for us. Address us at this place till further notice. J. N. ANDREWS. Washington, N. H.
