SHEFFIELD.—We are glad to report the work onward here in Sheffield. From June 25-28, Elder E. G. Hayes visited us, and organized a church of eleven members. Tuesday afternoon a company gathered on the banks of the Tennessee River, and four precious souls were buried with their Lord in baptism. Several others will be baptized in two weeks, and unite with the church.
Last Sabbath we celebrated the ordinances of the Lord's house, and it was the best meeting we have yet held. While this kind of meeting was new to nearly all present, our hearts rejoiced as the brethren and sisters took part in the ordinances. All thought that it was a blessed experience. The Lord came very near by his Holy Spirit.
We praise God for this church, and believe it will be as a city set upon a hill that can not be hid. The tithes and offerings are beginning to flow in. Our Sabbath-school is a live one, and well attended. Satan tried hard to overthrow the work here; but God was with his work, and we thank him for the victory. We are of good courage.
