DEEDSVILLE, INDIANA.

By Arthur W. Bartlett

Not being permitted to finish my work at Perrysburg, I have begun a course of lectures at Deedsville, about three miles east, where we hope to continue our work uninterrupted. Many are anxious to hear a full course of lectures, and I have reason to believe that as soon as my labors are finished at this place, some who are “almost persuaded” will commence the observance of the Sabbath, and thus cease the transgression of God’s holy law. May the Lord impress the minds of all those that know their duty in regard to the Sabbath with these words: “To him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.” James 4:17.

Since coming to this place, I have held four meetings, all of which have been attended by large, attentive, and intelligent audiences. The small school-house has been repaired for our use by the kind citizens of this place; and the school-teacher has courteously permitted us to occupy the large house on Sundays. May God’s Spirit move upon the hearts of the people. Pray that God may uphold me by his free Spirit.
