New Liberty, Republic Co.

We commenced meetings at New Liberty, June 8, and have spoken twelve times. Eleven, all heads of families, have signed the covenant. Yesterday was our first Sabbath meeting, and the first Sabbath some of them ever kept. They all bore testimony. The Spirit of the Lord was with us. Several who had not decided to keep the Sabbath were present, and took part in the meeting. The class elected Bro. O. D. Phillips, leader, and Bro. E. G. Currier, Sabbath-school superintendent. Regular Sabbath meetings and Sabbath-school will be kept up.

Tobacco has been routed, swine’s flesh is retreating, and will soon be entirely driven from the field. The Lord is preparing the hearts of the people for the reception of the truth. To him be all the praise.

I have just held a meeting at this place, continuing a few days. Three were added to the church by baptism. We enjoyed a precious season on Sabbath afternoon in the celebration of the ordinances
