New York.

By H. H. Wilcox

Since my last report, Jan. 14, I have spent three weeks in St. Lawrence Co., N. Y. Found the church at Pitcairn firm and rejoicing in the truth, yet they are not without some trials and much opposition. I found them laboring for the salvation of others, which to me is the secret of their success in maintaining a close walk with God.

A family of first-day Adventists having recently moved to the place, I found them very much interested with regard to the Bible Sabbath, as the result of the efforts of the church in proper conversation and distribution of tracts. After hearing a few discourses, they commenced keeping the Sabbath; and at a meeting of the church, before I left, the man, his wife, and eldest daughter, joined the church. We also organized a Bible-class. Truly this was a good day for the church; for the blessing of the Lord rested upon us. I spoke three times at Little York, in the town of Fowler. Congregations numbered from thirty-five to sixty. The best of attention was paid to the word spoken, but in consequence of ill health, I had to take up my fourth appointment and return home with a promise to meet them at some future time. H. H.
