WESTMORELAND, N. H.

By M. Wood

I MET with the company of Sabbath-keepers at Westmoreland, Dec. 1 and 2. We were agreeably surprised to find so intelligent a company among the blue hills of New England, who are in full sympathy with all the truths advocated by S. D. Adventists. Since Eld. Robinson left them, they have encountered considerable opposition, which has had a tendency to strengthen and establish them more fully in the truth. Bro. and Sr. Mason, of Walpole, who meet with this company, have been a source of great encouragement to them, by their presence and cheerful testimonies.

During the two days, we held six meetings. The intervening time was filled up with social meetings, which were seasons of profit and general encouragement to all present. The presence of Bro. Hastings and Buzzell, and their words of cheer and comfort, greatly added to the interest of the meeting. Sunday evening, I spoke on the Sabbath question. At the close of the discourse I took an expression, by a rising vote, to see how many would keep the Sabbath. Much to the surprise of all present, a Mr. Butterfield arose with the rest, thus signifying his determination to keep the Sabbath.

May God give grace and courage, and the good work speed on. M. WOOD.
