Pitcairn, N. Y.

By Henry H. Wilcox

ABOUT the first of March, commenced meetings at Creek church in the town of Fowler, St. Lawrence Co. Bro. Graves of the Pitcairn church assisting me some in scattering reading matter and visiting families. Four have commenced keeping the Sabbath, the interest still increasing. Bro. A. H. Hall was with me four days at the Creek. At our monthly meeting in Pitcairn, second Sabbath in June, two more decided to keep the next Sabbath, which they did, and were greatly blessed.

Shortly after, an aged lady of about seventy years made her first start in the service of the Lord, and is now rejoicing in his love, and is keeping the Sabbath. The interest is still good, and we hope for more if those are faithful who have started. They have prayer-meetings on the Sabbath, and Sabbath-school.

Praise the Lord for his wonderful goodness to the children of men. The gathering call is sounding, and there are many scattered up and down in the earth who for years could not subscribe to apostate and corrupt Christianity as it now is taught by the mass; but when the word is preached, they are ready to listen and obey. I wish to be remembered in the prayers of the people of God. HENRY H. WILCOX.
