TENNESSEE

By Orlando Soule

SEPT. 24, I visited the little company of Sabbath-keepers at Bee Creek, and held one meeting with them. The sweet, melting influence of the Holy Spirit rested upon us, and all were greatly encouraged. They are all holding on, and rejoicing in the present truth.

Aside from this visit, my time has been spent near Glade Creek post-office. Opposition has been organized and determined. The learned man that was called in conducted himself so badly that he scarcely needed reviewing; and that having failed, they organized the stay-away club, and nearly all joined it. A few, however, were interested, so I have continued the effort; and now the attention of the unconverted is arrested, and eight have signified their intention to become Christians.

I have received several packages of papers, back numbers of the REVIEW, &c., which are eagerly read here. Let them keep coming; and send them through the mail, as I am forty miles from any railroad. My post-office address is Pikeville, Bledsoe Co., Tenn.

Brethren, pray for the work here.
