MR. VERNON.—Brother Bliss writes: “We have now been in this place three weeks and three days, and have held, in all, about thirty meetings. One week ago last Sabbath, five signified a desire to become Christians and unite with the church. These were children of Sabbath-keepers who had come in from a distance to attend this meeting. Last Sabbath fourteen residing in this place arose, thus signifying their determination to hereafter keep the Sabbath. Three or four others informed me that they were keeping the Sabbath, making seventeen or eighteen residents of this place who have commenced to observe the seventh-day since we came here. We have our first baptism next week.”
