STRATHROY, ONTARIO.

By John Fulton

We have canvassed the Prophecies, the Sabbath, and Nature of Man. The opposition has been most determined. Soon after our meetings commenced, the Methodist minister secured the help of a Baptist preacher. These attended our meetings for a few evenings, and tried to prejudice the minds of the people by slander and in other ways.

Bro. Sisley commences a course of lectures in an adjoining district this evening, while I remain to continue the meetings. We are of good courage, and shall not give up until confident that the work is done.

Every blow struck by the enemy has driven the people nearer to us. Shall we not put forth every effort, that the light may be brought before the people, and the honest rescued? If ever we felt the need of help from the Lord it is at the present time. We know of no better way of securing it than by fasting and prayer. We would therefore set apart Sabbath, May 12, for that purpose, and earnestly request the brethren and sisters of Ontario to unite with us in imploring mercies of the God of Heaven. Brethren, pray for the cause in Ontario. JOHN FULTON.
