New Hampshire.

By P. C. Rodman

My last report was to Feb. 15. I had then given four lectures in Sharon. Continued them until April 8, giving some thirty discourses in Sharon, and seven in Jeffrey, meeting with the brethren in Blakeville several Sabbaths, and holding meetings in Peterboro one Sabbath during the time. I have tried to do the best I could to help the brethren, and persuade others to keep God's commandments, and the faith of Jesus. As a result, some of the brethren have been encouraged to consecrate themselves anew to the work; and in Sharon, eight have commenced to keep the Sabbath, who never started in the good work before. Held several social meetings with them, in which they have all taken part. Started a Bible-class last Sabbath, and social meeting on Wednesday evening. Bro. B. F. Wilkinson will lead in these meetings.

There is deep conviction on the minds of others in Sharon that they should keep the Sabbath. Nearly all who have heard us, confess we have the truth. The people in Sharon have treated us very kindly, making us welcome at their homes. We shall always respect them for this, and hope they will have such a regard for God's honor as to respect his law and keep all his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life and enter through the gates into the holy city at last, and so escape the seven last plagues to come on those who heed not the warning and counsel given under the three messages of Rev. 14.

I have given one discourse here to about forty-five, who gave good attention. Hope in the Lord to be of service here among this people. Pray for us. P. C. RODMAN. West Wilton, N. H.
