Cattaraugus Co., N. Y.

By R. F. Cottrell

AFTER attending the meeting at East Elma, the second Sabbath and first-day in October, which was a meeting of interest and of profit as I hope, I came to this county. Commenced meetings in Farmersville, an entirely new field, Oct. 15. Held two meetings which were well attended, and then went to the quarterly meeting at East Otto. Had an encouraging meeting. Between thirty and forty Sabbath-keepers were present. Bro. Welch, the director of the Tract Society for this district, and others, were present from Portville, and a representation from Cottage and Randolph, also. There is reason to hope that the meeting will prove very profitable to the interests of the cause in this part of the great field.

I have returned and resumed meetings at Farmersville. The interest manifest is as good as could be expected, and I remain to labor as long as it may be duty. I earnestly pray that my labor may not be in vain. I trust it will not. I hope at least to benefit the good family that have received me, and seem anxious to do everything in their power to make me comfortable. They are not members of any church; but parents and children are courteous and kind, and some of them, if not all, are religiously disposed. May God bless and save them. Brethren, pray for me.
