Report From Bro. Rodman.
By P. C. Rodman
MARCH 23, left Blakeville, N. H., having been privileged to labor there in the vicinity nine weeks, most of the time in company with Bro. S. N. Haskell, a privilege I enjoyed much. I think the Lord was with us in mercy, and the truth is victorious. From March 24 to April 2, I spent in Washington. Gave five discourses, attended one social meeting and one devoted to the ordinances, and visited what I could. They appeared encouraged from this visit. The Lord help them to press up in the work. April 2, started for Amherst. Met Bro. Canright in Manchester. He, with Bro. Waggoner, advised me to go to New Ipswich and stay until Bro. C. returned. A good work is in progress here. We did what we could until the 12th, leaving Bro C. there, who had returned on the 8th, and commenced to labor with his usual earnestness. He is really devoted to the cause of truth. Hope he will not overwork and break down. The Lord is crowning his effort here with success. I arrived home Apr. 12, after an absence of thirteen weeks. Found my family in usual health, for which I am grateful. The 16th came here to attend Monthly Meeting. We have held seven meetings. There is very strong opposition to the truth here, and some of its professed friends giving way to the outside pressure, and not pressing up in the work as they should, threw a gloom and depression of spirits over our meeting; but there was some advance and victory gained, and I hope none will turn traitors to the cause of truth and join with its enemies, but be willing to suffer, if need be, with Jesus and his truth, that they may reign with him.
