Newfane.

By Charles B. Reynolds

Commenced meetings here Nov. 19, 1870, closed Tuesday, Dec. 27. Fourteen have embraced the truth, resolving to keep all the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. A large number more are confessedly under deep conviction, some of whom there is reason to hope and expect will take up the cross. On the request last evening that “those who believe the Bible taught the necessity of observing the seventh day as the Sabbath of the Lord,” should manifest it, over twenty-five arose.

This cheering result is the legitimate consequence, under the blessing of God, of the earnest and continual prayers of the church at Olcott, and the earnest, self-sacrificing labors of those dear brethren and sisters, who, despite the inclemency of the weather and hard roads, came night after night a distance of seven miles, and on arrival entered heart and soul into the work.

Pray for me. CHARLES B. REYNOLDS.
