BLADEN SPRINGS, ALABAMA.
By A. O. Burrill
Yesterday (Sunday, the 27th) was a good day for us. After the sermon in the morning, nineteen were baptized. The day was fine, and a large number gathered to witness the scene. Meetings are held in Bro. S. J. Rogers' house, which is well filled with attentive listeners. The people are becoming very friendly, and we are receiving invitations to visit them at their homes. Wheat does not grow so far south as we now are by eighty or ninety miles. Snow seldom falls here. Many of our northern brethren desire a warmer climate; we can say to these persons that if they know when they are well off, they will remain where they are. Shall be pleased to furnish readers for the Signs to any who may desire to send papers. Please address us, stating how many. Feb. 4, Bro. Burrill adds:— During the past week several have decided to obey the truth. The interest is increasing. People come from a greater distance, and express a lively interest in the doctrines advocated. To-day we commence erecting a church, in the place of the one burned down two months ago. Have a Sabbath-school of forty members. Mrs. B. is to open a day school on Wednesday. The school system is very defective here; but the people, though ignorant, are very anxious to learn.
