A Good Word from Missouri.
From a private letter just received from Bro. N. W. Allen, of Missouri, we take the liberty to make the following extract for the benefit of our readers:— I met with very encouraging success in Franklin Co. All that heard all my lectures have embraced the Sabbath, and several others who could come only occasionally are very much interested. The weather turned so bad that it was almost impossible to travel, especially at night; and the most of the people there lived two or three miles apart, so that they could not come at all regularly. We therefore concluded that it was best to postpone the meetings till May. Immediately, on coming home, my brother printed some circulars and we distributed them through our little village and neighborhood. Although the roads are extremely muddy, and the streets appear almost impassable, we have a large audience every time, never less than sixty-five, and oftener seventy-five. This is a large audience for this place (about twenty-five families). Lecture every night. Great interest is manifested by all, even by those who have never paid any attention to religious matters. The Lord is surely greatly blessing us and our labors. Pray for us, that we may walk humbly before God, that we may share richly in his blessing, and be the instruments in his hands of saving many souls. It is a blessed privilege to be a light-bearer in God’s holy work! The set of books and The Voice of Truth have been received by the Mercantile Library. The Public School Library have the same offer, and have returned a vote of thanks. There are many who are anxious to investigate present truth, who will thus have an opportunity to do so.
