Oak Orchard, N. Y.

By R. F. Cottrell

THE favorable omens in regard to the interest here became less favorable when the subject of the Sabbath was reached. When professed Christians see that something is required of them besides exhorting sinners to be converted to the low level of those who say, Lord, Lord, but do not the things that he commands, they are apt to draw back. So it was here. Besides this, cold weather and storm had something to do in breaking off the meetings. I do not despair, however, of some good being accomplished by the seed that has been sown, if it is properly watered. May God help in doing this. And may I have the prayers of the people of God, that I may be able to do my duty and accomplish something in the salvation of men.
