MEETINGS AT WASHINGTON, N. H.

By Dudley Marvin Canright

JUNE 9, I came to this place with Bro. and Sr. C. K. Farnsworth, and spent two Sabbaths. I spoke to them several times, we had prayer-meetings, social meetings, an inquiry meeting, baptism, and the ordinances. I felt much encouraged with the result of our meeting, as did the others. The good work which was begun here last winter by the labors of Bro. and Sr. White and Bro. Andrews, is still going on. All those who then started, are still firm in serving the Lord. It is good to see the youth all so faithful in their duties. Those who had felt doubts and opposition with regard to this people, are steadily gaining faith and confidence in the work and drawing nearer to God's people. Bro. and Sr. Mead have gradually but steadily gained in health ever since last winter. I had the privilege of baptizing him with six others. Two expressed a determination to try and take up the cross and follow Christ. Sixteen were added to the church. We raised over $100 for the California Mission and the Benevolent Association. I thought that this was liberal for this church. If they now carry out their resolutions, and keep humble and press together, and cultivate faith in the work, God's blessing will abide with them. They seemed very dear to me before I left them. Sunday P. M., Bro. Colby brought me to his home at Hillsborough. His wife, though not with us, kindly cared for me. I hope soon to see her serving the Lord. D. M. CANRIGHT.
