Since the close of our good camp-meeting, I have labored in the following places: Ipswich, Mass., Deering, Cornville, Bridgewater, Smyrna Mills, Monticello, Me. Eight have been baptized. Some new ones have embraced the truth, and others have become interested. Prejudice is giving way in the minds of some, and a spirit of candor is taking its place. Truly, this work is the work of the Lord, and it is destined to triumph. The third angel’s message will finally bear away the victory.
The tracts and pamphlets are doing a good work; and every Sabbath-keeper should cultivate the true missionary spirit, and send out the light and truth in all directions. There are some in almost every place that are inquiring after truth; and all can work if they will. Some have sent a few tracts to their friends, and, after reading them, those friends have sent back for more. What the result will be, He only knows who governs the universe and knows the secret counsels of every heart. “In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand; for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good.”
