I LEFT home July 13 to visit our churches and scattered brethren and sisters in Aroostook County. I have held meetings in Oakfield, Linneus, Houlton, Monticello, Bridgewater, Blaine, Presque Isle, Mapleton, and East Washburn. Five have been baptized and six united with our churches; $138.52 have been pledged to buy a new tent to be used in the cause in this part of the State. There is not so much interest manifested in the tract and missionary work as there should be.
Two commenced the observance of the Sabbath last February by reading. The Lord is at work and precious souls are embracing the truth, although Satan is doing all that he can to prevent it. There has been a good outside interest to hear in nearly every place that I have visited, and many have acknowledged that we have the truth. May God help them to obey.
