HIXTON.

Here Bro. Hegg and I had a tent-meeting last summer. As the result, a little company was led to reverence God’s holy law. After having been absent two months, I visited them again, and was rejoiced to find them all holding on firmly. I staid with them one week, holding meetings and visiting from house to house. This company have kept up meetings every Sabbath since we left them in October.

December 24th they came together to consider the subject of organization. An elder and clerk were chosen. After giving some explanation in regard to the Bible method of S. B., they all voted to enter upon this good work also. May the blessing of the Lord ever be with this vine of the Lord’s planting. The 24th of December we went to

TAYLOR,

and commenced meetings the same evening. Here we also held a meeting last fall after the close of tent labor, when a dozen or more started in the good work of the third message. I found them all holding to the Sabbath, but they had not made much advancement, as they had not kept up their Sabbath meetings. I staid with this company one week, and the Lord helped us in speaking the word. The brethren were strengthened, and they resolved to do better in the future in keeping up their Sabbath meetings, and to strive for the overcomer’s reward. My prayer is that the Lord will bless this little company, and help them to walk in the light.
