HOWARD CO., INDIANA.

By W. W. SHARP; WM. COVERT

We closed our labors at West Liberty, in the tent, a week ago. About four hundred were present at our last meeting. The good Spirit of the Lord was present, and many wept.

The opposition has been very bitter. Four ministers, Age to Come, Adventists, and Disciples, earnestly contended against the faith. Rev. 12:17, seemed to have a fulfillment in their case. The commandments of God and the spirit of prophecy seemed to call down their wrath. We fear some of these wrathful opposers will have a part with those who love and make a lie. I wish them to repent of their ungodly work, and may the Lord “forgive them; for they know not what they do.”

We preached sixty discourses there, and obtained twelve trial subscribers for the REVIEW. As the result of our effort, fifteen or more are keeping the Sabbath, and thirty attend our Sabbath meetings.

We pitched the tent last week in Greentown, a village of two hundred inhabitants. We have held four meetings. One hundred and twenty-five were out at our first meeting, and four hundred last night. The people are friendly and give attention to the speaking of the word.

Dear brethren, remember us in your prayers, that God may bless the work in our hands. W. W. SHARP, WM. COVERT.
