NEW YORK AND PENNSYLVANIA.
Schuyler, N. Y., Sept. 23. The attendance and interest here seem unabated; but there is a strong Methodist element in the community that is doing all it can to hinder our success, and those that are interested seem to be largely of a class that are hard to reach with the truth, so that we cannot tell what the result may be. There was an opposition discourse yesterday, which raised the interest somewhat, and the reply seemed to make a favorable impression. Shall continue another week. NORTH CREEK, N. Y., SEPT. 14, 15.—At my meetings here the church was quite well represented, though the attendance was not large. Although this church has been passing through severe trial, from the effects of which it is still suffering, yet there are some here whose interest in the truth is manifestly increasing, and who are determined to go through with the message. The call for means for our tract-society work was readily responded to, and over eighty dollars was pledged for that purpose. COUDERSPORT, PENN.—Was with tent No. 10 at this place, Sept. 19 to 22. Spoke six times. On account of the weather, the tent was taken down the 23rd. A good degree of interest was manifested in these closing meetings. Especially was this the case on Sunday afternoon and evening, when, though it was very cold, the tent was well filled with a remarkably attentive congregation. This has been a hard field of labor, as infidelity has a strong hold in the community; but, through the blessing of the Lord, fifteen or more are keeping the Sabbath, and there are others who, we feel confident, will join them soon. Several of those who have embraced the truth have never made a profession of religion before. Bro. Robinson remains to give a course of lectures in a neighborhood about two miles distant, and he will hold meetings at C. Sabbaths and look after the interest until the time of the Wellsville meeting, when several desire baptism. Tent No. 4, Goodenough Dist., N. Y. We have taken down our tent, and are holding meetings in the school-house. The Methodists, fearing the results of our meetings, secured the services of the praying band that held meetings here last winter. They counted largely on the popularity of the praying band in this section, which resulted from the extensive revival connected with their labors. The movement has strengthened our friends, although some of them were severely tested. We have organized a class and appointed a leader, and they will hold regular Sabbath meetings. We have closed our labors here for the present. M. H. Brown. Sept. 23. H. H. Wilcox. Tent No. 6, Russellsburg, Pa., Sept. 24. We came to this place last week, expecting to have the use of the church; but after we had given several discourses, the Methodists tried to shut us out, although the house was built by all denominations, and by those of the world, with the understanding that it was to be open to all. Their attempt proved a failure, and we have had no trouble since, but just opposition enough to keep the people anxious to know what Seventh-day Adventists do believe. We are having good congregations, and the Lord is with us to help in presenting his word. To him be all the praise.
