Herkimer Co., N. Y.

By S. B. Whitney

As I intimated in my last report, I remained another Sabbath with the friends in Benson, and learned of two more that had decided to keep the Sabbath. Upon my arrival at home I found an invitation from the Conference Committee to fill an unexpected opening for labor at this place.

Came here Feb. 11, and found ten persons, besides children, that had commenced keeping the Sabbath from reading, and a Methodist church freely opened to us as long as we wished to use it. The weather has been extremely forbidding, more so, I think, than I ever experienced before, yet I have not lost a single appointment.

As it is only a country place, the attendance has not been large, but very steady. A lively interest has been taken in the meetings, and the truth is favorably received. Have spoken but twice on the Sabbath question, and one more has already commenced to obey. We hope for good results, and desire the prayers of all the dear people of God.
