Cattaraugus Co., N. Y.

By R. F. Cotterell

SINCE returning to this field, immediately after the meeting at Lancaster on the second Sabbath in March, the weather and roads have been very unfavorable to holding meetings evenings. Spent one Sabbath and first-day at Cherry Creek. Held two meetings. Found one new convert there to the Sabbath truth. Hope he will persevere. The next Sabbath and first-day I spent with the friends at East Otto. They are holding fast, and making some advancement. Several of their number, and in their families, were sick, which, together with other cares and the bad roads, prevented them from coming to the meeting at Cottage, which is just passed. We hardly expected that any would come from a distance of over twenty miles, but were happily disappointed to meet with six of the friends from Randolph. We have had a meeting of interest, and, I trust, profit. The cause is onward; and we hope that the next monthly meeting will prove successful. Let the brethren and sisters pray and labor to this end. In due season we shall reap if we faint not. Let none forget that the reaper receives wages, and gathers fruit to life eternal.
