Lebanon, Smith Co., March 12.— Our work in this place is just finished, after remaining nearly eight weeks. Since our last report, nine more have decided in favor of the truth, making in all fifteen, all heads of families, that have embraced the Sabbath and kindred truths since our coming here. Six of the above were addicted to the use of tobacco, but have discontinued the habit, according to 2 Cor. 7:1. Six have united with the Lebanon church by baptism. With but few exceptions, this church is of good courage. Our stay in this place has been a profitable and pleasant one. The Lord has worked far beyond our expectations. When we are humble and consecrated, God works through us.
We expect to begin another series of meetings the 15th, in an entirely new field.
M. AND H. ENOCH.
Among the Churches.— From Jan. 7 to March 3, I visited the churches of Ft. Scott, Amity, Cherokee, Hallowell, Moline, and Grenola. At each of these places we think real progress was made, but were sorry to find that some had not maintained the ground they occupied when we left them about a year ago. Probably they learned that it was easier to draw nigh to the Lord when there was a strong revival influence, than to hold their ground when left alone to grapple with the difficulties of life and the temptations of Satan. We were glad to find some who appeared to have grown brighter in consequence of the friction caused by conflicts with self and the world and the buffetings of Satan.
At Grenola, sister Jones, who had been confined to her bed six weeks, was instantly healed in answer to prayer. Her physician, an infidel, was sitting by her bed, watching the effect of his medicine. On being healed, she arose and walked the room, praising God for his goodness to her.
