Note from Bro. Lawrence.
By R. J. Lawrence
I ARRIVED at Lee Summit, Mo., June 23. The 26th I went to Lone Jack. Some of the people, judging from appearance, and the course taken by them, were sorry to see me; others were glad. The ministers, especially the Baptists, had quieted the convictions of the members of their churches, by the arguments against the Sabbath, based on the resurrection of Christ, his meetings on the first day of the week, &c., and it seemed impossible to arouse them again, as but few of them would attend meetings. I spent two weeks there. Two weeks ago to-day, Bro. Baily with his team started with me for this place, where we arrived on Friday. Discouragement sometimes comes over me on account of so little fruit resulting from my labor. Then I think of the Saviour, who could not do man's mighty works in a certain place because of unbelief. I think that if there is nothing more done by the preaching of the truth, the people are being tested, and the seed of truth is being scattered, and it may germinate when the latter rain falls. R. J. LAWRENCE. Charlotte, Mo., Aug. 10, 1870.
