NEWBURYPORT, MASS.

By C. W. Stone

Although the interest here has not given us a great number of constant hearers, yet we are not without some encouragement. We had our second Sabbath meeting July 21. A good number came from Ipswich, and our social meeting was good. Twelve of the thirty-three ready testimonies given were from those who were keeping their first or second Sabbath. One old man with snow-white hair, who had never professed religion, arose, and with choked utterance confessed the truth and his determination to obey it. Eighteen promised, by arising, to keep the Sabbath.

The ministers are beginning to work against us, visiting their members and telling them that the law is done away, and preaching the same and various other things publicly. Dr. Litch has published a list of sixteen questions for us in the daily paper here. Eld. Canright has written an answer, which will appear in the same, and has also appointed to answer them at the tent this eve, July 23. I don’t know how the doctor could have helped us more effectually.
