ROCHESTER AND BLUE GRASS, INDIANA.
By S. H. Lane
May 1–6, labored at Rochester. We enjoyed some excellent meetings. The social meeting on Sabbath, was specially good. Some spoke for the first time. We gave an invitation for those who desired to be prayed for, and to make a start in the Christian life, to come forward. Four responded. First-day two were baptized, and four united with the church. May 7–10, at Blue Grass. Bro. and Sr. Pugh of this place first heard the truth at Rochester, about six years ago, when Eld. Waggoner and the writer were there with the tent. About eighteen months ago they began to live out the truth; and through their influence some of their neighbors became deeply interested. Bro. and Sr. Weber, of Rochester, visited the neighborhood, and distributed reading matter. One year ago, the writer gave three discourses in this vicinity, and visited those interested. Some took a stand to obey. Eld. Bartlett was here last winter, and others embraced the truth. A short time since, Sr. Weber organized a Sabbath-school among them, and they began to hold Sabbath meetings. During our last meeting we baptized five, and celebrated the ordinances. During the month of May, two new meeting-houses have been dedicated in this Conference. We thank the Lord for the advancement of the truth in this State. S. H. LANE.
