Sheffield, Bureau Co., July 15.
By Lewis Johnson
I HAVE now been in Illinois two months, and I thank God that I can see some fruit of my labor, if not as much as I would desire to see. I have visited from house to house a great deal, and have spoken forty-two times. My country people here are not accustomed to attending meetings very often, so in this busy time of year and hot weather I cannot have meetings as often as I wish. But when we do come together we sometimes talk about present truth till after twelve o’clock at night. I have sold and given away about three thousand pages of tracts, and sold nine Bibles to families that had none. Others who had the Bible have commenced reading it with new interest, and wonder that there are so many good things in it. Thank God for his word. LEWIS JOHNSON.
