West Unity, Williams Co., O., July 15, 1872

By H. A. St. John; A. A. Hutchins

Ohio.

SINCE our last report, two weeks ago, our meetings in the Ohio tent have continued every night excepting one, with three meetings on Sunday, including the evening. Congregations through the week have not been large, owing in part, no doubt, to the fact that the farming community are just now very busily engaged in reaping a fine harvest. The average attendance for the past two weeks has been about one hundred and ninety, with an audience of about six hundred on Sunday nights. Have sold about fourteen dollars' worth of books, besides distributing about 7,600 pages gratuitously.

There is considerable eagerness manifested on the part of the people to get our publications, which we regard as an interesting feature of the meeting. We are now in the midst of the examination of the Sabbath question, and we have reason to believe that the truth is taking hold upon the hearts of some. No opposition that we are aware of thus far.

We feel to praise God for his blessings to us up to this time, and our courage in the Lord is good. We hope and pray for heavenly wisdom, that we may be enabled to move just right in all things, and that God would use us as humble instruments in his hands of bringing some souls in this place to a saving knowledge of the present truth. Brethren, forget us not at the throne of grace. H. A. St. John, A. A. Hutchins.
