Report from Bro. Cottrell.

I SPENT two months in labor in Nashville, Chat. Co., and Cottage, Catt. Co., The opposition was strong; the houses were closed against us, while the interest outside of the professed churches was good. One of these houses has been open to Spiritualists for years. They can come within its consecrated walls, and blaspheme God and the Bible; but the Bible, as it reads, is excluded. I can report but eleven Sabbath-keepers in these two places, which are about three and a half miles apart. Others have acknowledged the truth. I hope they will embrace it before it is too late. Sabbath meetings have been established, and I have reason to hope that the cause here will be maintained, and a church established.
I have now just commenced meetings under favorable auspices, for the time of year, in a school-house two and a half miles south of Warsaw village, in Wyoming Co., N. Y. Came at the invitation of Bro. G. H. Truesdell, who received the truth in Saginaw Co., Mich. With this brother and his family I have a pleasant home. My address is Warsaw, Wyoming Co., N. Y., Box 173. Brethren, pray for us.
R. F. COTTRELL.
