Report and Call.

By H. A. St. John

On the last evening of January we commenced a series of meetings in the Gross School house, Mendon, Mercer Co., Ohio. Continued there four weeks. Interest increased till the close. At times the house would not hold the people. Eld. Warner came out against us with three discourses on the Sabbath question, and Eld. Cassel on the nature of man. The Lord gave liberty in reviewing, and the truth bore off the palm of victory. Several good souls have taken a firm stand on the side of truth, and are keeping the Sabbath. Many are convinced that we have the truth, and all around there is a very great interest to hear the “gospel of the kingdom;” and the object of the present writing is to call the attention of ministers, especially those who may labor in Ohio, to this field as a very favorable opening for the last message. Those already in the truth do most earnestly appeal for help. With outstretched arms they are crying, “Come over and help us.”

It is my judgment that a better opening for the tent could not be found in the State, and the people have assured me that they would liberally assist in defraying the expenses of a tent-meeting.

Brethren in Ohio, What can you do for the interest of the cause of present truth in Mendon? In behalf of that people I ask that their wants be remembered. May the Lord direct, and send by whomsoever he will. For further information address Bro. T. F. Emans, Mendon, Mercer Co., Ohio.

H. A. ST. JOHN.
