East Dover, Me., Feb. 21, 1875

By J. H. Goodrich

Maine.

Since my last report, Dec. 2, 1874, I have labored in the following places: Deering, Brunswick, Richmond, Woodstock, Jay, Somerset Mills, Canaan, Norridgewock, Cornville, Athens, and Hartland.

The weather has been very unfavorable for holding meetings in Maine this winter, and but few could get out the most of the time, but the few that came together seemed to be encouraged. We reorganized Systematic Benevolence where they could get out, and it was encouraging to see the readiness manifested on the part of the most of our people to take hold of this branch of the work. Our brethren and sisters at Somerset Mills were ready of themselves to take hold of the tithing system, to help forward the work and cause of present truth. We hope for better days in Maine. I have often thought of the language of the psalmist: “Wait on the Lord; be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart; wait I say on the Lord.” J. H. GOODRICH.
