Interest Increasing at Oswayo

By E. W. Whitney; H. Robinson

Tent No. 10, Oswayo, Pa., July 15.

SINCE our last report, the interest here has continued to increase. The weather has been very fine, and everything has seemed to work in our favor.

Fourteen have decided to keep the Sabbath, and we confidently hope for several others to join the number. These, without an exception, are people who stand high in the community and in the different churches.

Those who have opposed us have done it in a very shrewd manner, keeping all they could from coming out to the meetings and being very careful, at the same time, not to offer any open opposition; but they now begin to become alarmed as they see some of their best members embracing the truth, and one of their number advertised to speak on “The Bible and Adventism from our Stand-point” one evening last week. We took up our appointment so that all might go to hear the other side; but there were but seventeen present, and the effort was a complete failure.

Eld. B. L. Whitney has rendered efficient aid by being present and speaking two evenings during the past week.

We have secured an organ, and hope to have our most interesting meetings the coming week. Eld. Whitney will be with us next Sabbath and Sunday, at which time we expect to have baptism.
