TENNESSEE

By Orlando Soule

Having been hindered for several weeks from holding meetings, owing to bad weather, with no prospect of improvement before spring, I counseled with the brethren regarding exchanging the mud of the country for the pavements of city or town. They decided that nothing could be done in the country until spring opens; and hearing of several Sabbath-keepers at Nashville, who were unorganized, they counseled me to visit them at once, and provided me with a horse with which to make the journey. Three days later, I reached Bro. Richardson’s, where I met Bro. G. K. Owen. Here I was informed that some of the Sabbath-keepers of Nashville had moved to another locality, and I could not learn the address of any of the rest; so the way seemed closed up before us.
Not knowing what to do, we gave ourselves to fasting and prayer; and as we humbled ourselves before the Lord and threw ourselves upon his promises, his Spirit came upon us in power, and light seemed to break in upon us. The way seems to be open for a course of lectures at the little town of Franklin; and Bro. Owen and I intend to begin the work there as soon as proper arrangements can be made.
