ROSSIE, N. Y.

By Henry H. Wilcox

Came to this town in November, and commenced a series of meetings. Labored mostly in two school-districts. From twenty-five to one hundred and twenty were in attendance. The desire to hear the word increased until the interest became very general. Have met with but little opposition. One Methodist minister in my absence gave out that he would prove from the Bible that Sunday is the Christian Sabbath, or he would step down from his high position as a Christian minister. Before my return he made the attempt. A friend took notes, and I reviewed him with good liberty. His effort was a failure. The people generally think he has stepped down; for, up to the time of my leaving, he had not filled an appointment, giving us the entire field. Honorable people, not a few, believe we have the truth. Hope they will obey before it is too late.

Nine or ten expressed a determination to keep the Sabbath. Have sold a few dollars' worth of books. Received twenty subscribers for our periodicals. Bro. A. H. Hall was with me one week, and assisted in speaking and visiting. Eld. B. L. Whitney visited the place and preached three times. Shall return to them again as soon as the roads become settled.
