ROME, N. Y.

By B. L. Whitney

I am very glad to be able to report so favorable a condition of things as I find here. So far as I can learn, there is not one of those who have fully taken their stand for the truth but that is still holding on and is more firm than ever before.
Two regular prayer-meetings per week are well sustained, the attendance sometimes numbering over forty; and their Sabbath-school and Sabbath meetings are increasing in interest. Some are manifesting the real missionary spirit, and the result is seen in the fact that the prayer and Sabbath meetings are attended by some who have not taken their stand on the truth, but are favorably inclined toward it, Some of these I believe will yet embrace the truth.
After the discourse on Sabbath, thirty earnest testimonies were given in twenty-five minutes. The public services first-day afternoon and evening were well attended.
