Essex Co., N. Y.

By S. B. Whitney

SINCE my last effort, have spent several days in North Elba, visiting among the friends interested in the truth, and preaching to them as opportunity offered. There I had an excellent opportunity to publicly deny a false report that a Wesleyan minister had been spreading through the country to the effect that I denied the divinity of Christ; and a very good impression seemed to be made, even upon some who had been strenuously opposed to us. Found another family deeply interested in the truth and almost decided to keep the Sabbath.

Have just commenced lectures between this place and Vermontville, two small villages about three miles apart, speaking on alternate evenings at each place. The interest opens remarkably well, especially at Vermontville, where I occupy the Methodist meeting-house, and I hope for good success.

I feel like consecrating myself anew to the service of God, and laboring more earnestly than ever for the salvation of souls.

S. B. WHITNEY.
