From Bro. Avery.

By Chas. Avery

BRO. SMITH: I praise God for what he is doing for me, and for the light I have received on the third angel's message and the Sabbath. It has become to me a delight to keep the holy Sabbath. The Lord has done a great work here since the grove meeting, and is still working. Five were baptized on first-day, Oct. 13. Bro. C. Sweet and Wm. Wild administered the ordinance. It was witnessed by a large congregation with whom a deep interest was manifested. Others are still coming out. Bro. P. C. Rodman arrived on sixth-day, and preached from 1 Pet. ii, 6, 7, a very interesting discourse. Sabbath morning he met with the few commandment keepers, and spoke from Isa. lviii, 13, a discourse just such as the children of God needed. Again, Nov. 2, I had the privilege of hearing from Bro. R. an interesting and instructive discourse from Dan. vii. Much interest was manifested by those who heard. It has made quite an opening in this place. Eleven have been baptized since the grove meeting above referred to. May God still bless.
