CATTARAUGUS CO., N. Y.

By R. F. Cottrell

This county is almost entirely a new field of labor in the third message. I am in Randolph in this county, and have given thirteen discourses to good and attentive congregations, the school-house being well-filled every time, although the weather has been rainy and the evenings dark. I have not as yet made any public call for an expression, but have heard of some half dozen that acknowledge the Sabbath, and express their determination to keep it. I am encouraged to think the Lord has jewels here. I do not intend to leave them till they shall be developed and decided. Then there are other places in this county where the truth must be preached. I desire the prayers of all God's people, and especially of his chosen servants in the ministry, that God will help me to declare the last message in demonstration of the Spirit and of power; guiding me in judgment to use my time and labors so that they may tell to the advancement of truth and the salvation of souls. As God has seen fit, in answer to the prayer of his servants, to hold me still in life, I greatly desire that my future may tell to his glory; that I may share largely of that spirit which he is pouring upon our God-chosen leaders; that it may be with me as it has been with Bro. White, that with returning health I may partake more largely of the Spirit and blessing of God.
