Work at West Liberty and Jerome
From a private letter from Bro. J. B. Frisbie, we take the following:— “We have had a good time at West Liberty, Mich. Some over twenty have covenanted together to keep the Sabbath, and the blessing of the Lord has rested upon them. They have established Sabbath meetings, with a Sabbath-school and Bible-class. Eight were baptized last first-day. The interest is still good. We expect others will soon go forward in baptism. Many have been convinced of the truth, some of whom we expect will lay hold of eternal life. Oh! may they not put it off too long. Too many have done this to their sorrow in the past.” “This has been a hard field of labor. A number of years ago there were tent-meetings at Moscow. Some came out then on the truth, and some were convinced who have now taken a stand with us. Truth sown in honest hearts does not easily die out. There was once a church here, but it has been broken up by removals, deaths, &c. “The Congregationalists in Jerome sent for me to occupy their meeting-house. They gave me a good hearing and treated me kindly. Quite a number acknowledged the truth, but they are slow to move. I do not despair of fruit yet of that labor, if it should be after some days. “I have succeeded in getting some ten or eleven subscribers for the REVIEW.”
