REPORT FROM BRO. COTTRELL.

By R. F. COTTRELL.

AFTER leaving Steuben Co., I visited East Concord, Erie Co., N. Y. Here I formed an acquaintance with a man of intelligence and influence, formerly a Universalist minister, but had been led out of that error by the Bible doctrine of life and death; then an Elder in the Disciple church, till by reading papers and publications from the Review Office he has become convinced of the perpetuity of the commandments of God, and sees the need of a death to sin, in the light of that law by which is the knowledge of sin, and a burial that shall not be a being buried alive. He is doing a prosperous business in merchandise, and the cross looks to him about as it did to a Somerset merchant some years ago. But may God help him also to take it up.

I had only two meetings in that vicinity, as it was thought to be too busy a time to get an interest started. I trust the way will be opened for labor there soon, and that the Lord will send them help. I was entertained very cordially and kindly by my friend and his kind and agreeable companion during my stay. May each so live that they may find a reward in the kingdom of God. R. F. COTTRELL.
