MAINE

By J. B. Goodrich

Aroostook Co., Aug. 19.

I joined Bro. Hersum at Caribou, June 21, and we closed our meetings at East Washburn, Aug. 18. Upwards of fifty have decided to keep the Sabbath of the Lord, eight have been baptized, and twenty-eight subscribers to our periodicals have been obtained. A Sabbath meeting has been established, and a large field has been opened for future labor. Bro. H. and wife remain another week.

I do not know of a more encouraging field of labor than this in the Pine Tree State. We expect to see others gathered into the truth here yet. One opposition tent was pitched at East Washburn, but the Lord turned it to the good of his cause. The keep-away argument was urged by some, and false reports were put in circulation, as usual; but God gave the increase. To him be all the glory.

My address will now be Hartland, Me.
