Elder Van Horn reports a good state of things at Walla Walla. His last report made the 8th, say:—
“We can see that the cause of truth is moving on with us here. We are having quite a sharp contest with the ministers of the place. They do not offer to debate. But in their own places of worship they hold forth against us on the questions of the Sabbath, the nature of man, and the second advent of Christ. We have replied to them in the tent. The truth has lost no friends by the contest so far.
“Two of the ministers have now closed up, and have given out publicly that they will carry it no farther. The Methodist minister will probably close up next Sunday. We have many warm friends here who have not yet accepted the truth.”
There is still due us of the $1,000 for this mission the sum of $209.57, which we shall be glad to receive from the friends of the cause as they regard it their duty to donate.
