HAMILTON.—When I came here, I found that the brethren had a hall; and although it is situated in a place where we could not reasonably expect an attendance, I gave my consent to continue the rent of this hall, and promised to hold meetings in it, as I was told that this was the only hall that could be obtained. Most of the people living near are not of the “common people” who heard the Master gladly. Notwithstanding this, there has been some interest on the part of a very few; and on account of these few, we have labored on in hope. I still believe that we shall see some of these decide to obey all the commandments of God.

Aside from my work in the hall, I have been visiting the people from house to house on the north side of the island near Brother Enoch’s home, where I have been stopping. This part of the island is thickly populated. The people belong to the laboring class. If I had a tent, I think I could pitch it in some spot where, within a radius of one half or three fourths of a mile, there would be eight or ten times as many people as there are within the same radius of the hall. I have had many excellent spiritual visits with the people, and quite a few seem to be inquiring concerning the truth. One week ago to-day, while I was canvassing a lady, she asked me of what church I was a member. Upon being told, she asked, “What is that?” I explained briefly, and went on with my canvass. As I was leaving, she said, “But I want to ask you something more about the gospel.” I continued the conversation, and learned that for some time she had not attended any place of

worship, because she hardly knew where to go. She had been praying to God to send her the true light. With tears in her eyes, she said she believed that God had sent me.

In canvassing for “Christ’s Object Lessons,” I have a good opportunity to get acquainted with the people. In the last forty-five days I have taken sixty orders, twenty-five of which are delivered. I have one thousand late tracts. I propose now to go over the same ground with tracts, as I have met many people who seem to be ready for this message. Our courage in God is good, and I never felt his presence with me more than at this time. I would ask a continued interest in your prayers.
