I GAVE twenty-three discourses in the school-house in Hundred Mile Grove. The interest was good throughout. I made each discourse as comprehensive as possible, so as to cover the main ground of our faith in the time which I considered it consistent to remain. Having been requested to go to Indiana, I felt anxious to get there in time to do something before the winter closes.
A new responsibility rests upon the Hundred Mile Grove church. All who are now convicted of duty to keep the Sabbath are near enough to meet with them; will there be a general interest all around? There is scarcely a family within a circle of several miles in which there is not some interest on these subjects, and missionaries and tract distributors will find open doors and a readiness to converse and read in every direction. So far as I can observe, I have judged that there has not been much labor of this kind done in this part of the State, and an excellent opening is now before the members of the Tract Society in this district.
The members of the church very generally attended the meetings, and it was the opinion of the elder that as much good had been done to the church as to others. They have been trying of late to put away some difficulties which have troubled them in the past, and the meetings coming so soon after that effort, they were prepared to appreciate and to be stirred up by the evidences of the truth as presented to the world around them. May the Lord lead them to a faithful discharge of duty, that the curse of Meroz shall not fall upon them.
I have two appointments to fill in Lodi village, which will close my work here.
The Lord has blessed me much in speaking while I have been here. A severely cold spell prevented my doing as much visiting as I wished to do. I hope others will feel the burden of the work, and improve the opportunity thus offered.
