Nova Scotia

By William Guthrie

During my short stay in Nova Scotia, I have been permitted to visit the churches at Tantallon, Jeddore, and Indian Harbor. At Tantallon we made a number of visits, and held two meetings at the church. Only a few not of our faith attended, but the Lord came near, and blessed the seed sown. I was made to rejoice to see so many heads of families who had yielded to the call of mercy. May the Lord keep them, and prove by them that it is pleasing to the Master to help those who are willing to obey him.

At Jeddore I was in company with Brother Levi Longard, and we had a precious season before the Lord. Six public meetings were held with good attendance and interest. This point should have more work this fall.

My next visit was Indian Harbor, where a little company began to serve the Lord some years ago. For several years they worked hard to erect a church, which at last was completed, and surely the Lord is pleased with the sacrifice made, and in his own good time will reward all for their labor. We held five meetings at this point with increasing interest. May the Lord hasten the time that more work may be done at this place.

In Halifax (our present home) the faithful are doing their utmost to build a house of worship, where the truth may be proclaimed in its purity. This church was started last year by Elder Langdon; was boarded in and roofed when the money gave out, and it was left to stand till this year.

When we came here, a plan was started to canvass the city, and the sisters gathered nearly one hundred and fifty dollars, with which we have enclosed the building. But we are still in need, as the inside must be finished, and seats put in. We must raise about three hundred and fifty dollars more for this purpose.
