MISSOURI

By C. H. Chaffee; H. Woodruff

WE have now, Sept. 10, been in Half Rock seven weeks, and have given in all seventy-five discourses. Have thoroughly canvassed the prophecies, Sabbath, the law, etc. We have had much opposition, and some of the lowest and meanest we have ever met in all our experience. But twenty-five have now accepted the whole truth. The Sunday after our debate closed, sixteen were buried with their Lord by baptism, in the presence of at least eight hundred persons. We shall have baptism again in a few days.

Our meetings still continue, with increasing interest. The whole country seems stirred for miles around. The Lord has been with us in power, for which we praise his holy name. We shall follow up this work until it is done, or we have to leave for the camp-meetings. The people here have been very kind to us, and our tent expenses this season have not exceeded $3. We are of good cheer, and our hearts are full of the love of God.
