Massachusetts.

SABBATH and first-day, July 6 and 7, I spent with the church at Danvers. We celebrated the ordinances, nearly all participating. Some who had not given the matter a moment’s thought were unprepared to do so. Their Sabbath-school is prospering finely, and the report of the past quarter showed that a good interest had been manifested. We sincerely hope that our older schools will not come behind in this matter.

Our meetings at Townsend are still in progress. Yesterday (Sabbath) twelve arose, signifying their determination to keep all God’s commandments. There are others who, we think, will take hold of the truth. We shall remain another week and do what we can to strengthen those that have taken their stand, and to help others also.

The Methodist minister gave us a call yesterday, and we had quite a long talk. He has promised his flock a sermon on the Sabbath question as soon as “that tent leaves.” One of us will try to be here, and get the benefit of his instructions.
