Aroostook Co., Me.

By J. B. Goodrich

AFTER the close of our good camp-meeting which has been reported by others, I stopped a few days at home, and then returned to this place and found the most of those that embraced the truth during the tent meeting firm, although ministers had been here and preached against us, and done all they could to discourage and drive them from the Sabbath; and false reports had been circulated. Yet some new ones had taken up the cross, and seem firm in the truth; and I was informed that one person said if they should come and preach one more discourse against us, he should be a Sabbath-keeper, although he did not attend any of our meetings in the tent.

During our absence from the place the interest had decreased some, but it seems to be increasing again now. The Lord has not left the place, but his Spirit is with us in our meetings to impress the minds of the hearers with the importance of his truth. God is raising up some in this place to defend his truth. To him be all the glory.

The third angel’s message must be given. The world must hear it, and all that will, may obey the voice of the angel and “keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus,” Rev. 14:12, and have right to the tree of life, and enter in through the gates into the city. Rev. 22:14. Pray for us.
