LIBERTY CENTER, Jan. 16, 1877. I have just closed a three weeks’ meeting at this place. Brother Hoffer and family have lived here for years as lonely Sabbath-keepers, but have succeeded in exerting a good influence. We gave 23 discourses in a hired hall, costing $11, this was promptly met by the friends, making it one of the few self-sustaining meetings in a new place. The meetings should have been continued by all means, but hard times from failure of crops last season made it impossible to defray farther expenses. At a meeting a vote was taken on the Sabbath, when nearly all voted that the seventh day was the right day. Fourteen signed the covenant. We trust the Lord may open the way to follow up this interest soon.
