MAINE

By S. J. Herson

Linneus, Littleton, and Oakfield, May 27.

I attended the general meeting held in Linneus, May 11-14, which was a season of profit to us all. I hope the good instruction and encouraging words we heard from Bro. Haskell and Goodrich will not soon be forgotten.

May 17-22, held meetings in Littleton. Found all holding on to the truth. Bro. Goodrich, returning from New Sweden, stopped in Littleton and held an evening meeting.

In company with Bro. Goodrich, I attended the meetings in Oakfield, which commenced Friday evening, the 24th. These meetings were generally good, although there was not that promptness on the part of some to take part in the social meetings which we would have been glad to see. Our meeting Sunday morning was one of interest and profit. We came together at eight o’clock, and after talking over matters connected with the cause, the importance of Sabbath-schools, &c., S. B. was re-organized, which amounted to about $90.00 a year. If our brethren and sisters carry out the tithing system, as many of them have resolved to do (and I verily believe they will), it will far exceed the amount pledged. At this meeting we sold about twelve dollars’ worth of books.

May the Lord help our brethren and sisters to enter into this work as they never have before. Pray for us.

S. J. Herson.
