By A. D. Beers

We commenced meetings at the Dart School-house first-day, Nov. 5. Have given eight discourses. The interest to hear and learn is good.
Secret opposition has assailed us with all its forces by trying to persuade the people that it is wicked to come and hear us. One woman who claims to hold direct communication with Christ says that it was shown her that it was wrong to listen to us. She is a woman of considerable influence, and some are controlled by her.
But there are some earnest inquirers after truth here and we trust good is being done. The Lord has blessed us while trying to present his blessed truths. Praise his holy name. May his blessing continue until all the honest in heart receive the glorious light he is now revealing to his people.
Remember your unworthy brother at the throne of grace. I want more humility of heart, that I may be submissive to the will of God, and, if such be his holy will, be the means of snatching some poor souls from ruin, and at last hear my Saviour pronounce that welcome applaudit, Well done.
In the glorious hope. A. D. BEERS.
