ONTARIO

By J. Fulton

Our quarterly meeting at Wyoming was encouraging. Three were baptized, and united with the church.

For the past few weeks we have been holding meetings at Mt. Brydges. Owing to the busy time of the year, but few attended, except on Sundays. Some became interested, and the warfare commenced, one minister taking up the Sabbath question, another the nature of man. We have tried to defend the truth. The Lord has helped.

Many are convinced that we are right, and, as far as we can learn, few are satisfied with the efforts of the opposition, whose main arguments have been abuse and misrepresentation. A monk of the Greek Church, from Jerusalem, has commenced meetings in the hall. He has joined the enemy’s ranks, and is doing all he can to crush the truth. Abler men are expected soon.

Three families have accepted the truth. Many are deeply interested. One young man who has been a preacher for some time has taken a firm stand with us. All means are resorted to, to keep the people from obeying. The ministers state publicly that they will see that the laws of the land are enforced. These things cause the people to move slowly. Our courage is good. I am alone in the tent with Bro. Collie for tent master. J. FULTON.
