Reports from Several Fields
REPORT.—On the 28th ult., a telegram called me to attend a funeral at this place. See the obituary notice. Although the meeting was held in the midst of the week, and the people were hurried by their work, yet from the village and surrounding country the attendance was general. This furnished us an excellent opportunity to present our views on the dying saint's sustaining hope. The testimony was well received, and it was manifest that prejudice yielded. A few here are endeavoring to obey the present truth, and for others we hope. Mr. VERNON.—The first three days in this month I spent at this place. Held a few meetings and visited. Friends from Webber Grove met with us. Remember the Lord is soon coming! therefore be faithful “a little while,” and a crown of life will be yours. ELLIOTTSTOWN.—During the week ending June 10, I had the privilege of laboring in Brn. Shonk and Morrison's late field. The Lord has been gracious, and some success has crowned their efforts. Twenty-five are now keeping the Sabbath, where a few months ago there were none. I immersed two, seventeen signed the “band-covenant.” As soon as others put away the idol tobacco, we may immerse others, and more fully organize. Some were not present to sign. G. W. COLCORD.
