NOBLE CO., INDIANA.

By H. M. Kenyon

By special request of the brethren at Ligonier, and permission of the President of the Michigan Conference, I held meetings with the brethren of this county, May 19-22.

One year ago there were not more than half a dozen Sabbath-keepers in Noble Co.; there were at this meeting not less than sixty, nearly all of whom received the truth the past year.

The tent-meeting last fall at Albion, the county seat, was broken up by sickness and cold weather, so that we thought that meeting a failure. There was a brother from that place at the meeting at L. He said he and his wife began to keep the Sabbath last Christmas, and there were others keeping the Sabbath as the result of that meeting. I held seven meetings with them. Sabbath afternoon, forty encouraging testimonies were borne in sixty minutes. Five were baptized, and seven united with the church. These brethren have had but little ministerial help; yet they are firm in the truth. Steps are being taken to build a house of worship, which they are very much in need of.
