ST. LAWRENCE CO., N. Y.
By S. B. Whitney
We remained in Hermon one week after our last report, and several others decided to keep the Sabbath. The believers there seem firm and are growing in grace. We have met with them on the Sabbath since the tent was taken down. July 27, we pitched the tent in Potsdam, and commenced meetings the evening of the 28th with a temperance lecture, by request of some of the citizens. Although we have been broken up some by temperance meetings that have moved the whole village and surrounding country, and although there is a great amount of sickness in the place, seventy-five cases of typhoid fever being reported within the corporation, yet the interest is good, the attendance ranging from three hundred to five hundred generally. Bro. Jacob Wilbur joined me last week, Bro. Hall's health failing him so that he needs rest. Brethren, pray for us. Potsdam, N. Y., Aug. 9, 1876.
