South Rutland, Tent No. 3, Aug. 5.—The interest here is still excellent. Several have commenced to keep the Sabbath, and many others are very favorable. The sermon which was announced against us on the Sabbath question, did not come off; and without opposition, people have been slow in deciding. Eld. B. L. Whitney spent last Sabbath and first day with us. His help was much needed and very timely. We have now been here nearly six weeks, and will be obliged to remain two weeks longer, at least. M. H. Brown. C. C. Lewis.
Dryden, Aug. 6.—This place has nearly one thousand inhabitants. We have been here with the tent three weeks. Considerable prejudice existed when we came, but it is giving way. We have a good hearing, the people are kind, and our hopes are strong that much good will result from this effort. We shall soon present the Sabbath question, as many are already inquiring concerning it. Brethren, remember us, as we are inexperienced and need much heavenly wisdom. T. M. Lane. E. S. Lane.
Earlville, Tent No. 4, Aug. 6.—A report of our meetings at Georgetown was sent to the REVIEW several weeks since, but was miscarried. We left that place after laboring there about five weeks. The people were generally very friendly, but, with few exceptions, they seemed rather indifferent to the claims of God upon them. The busy season of the year occasioned irregularity in attendance on the part of those even who seemed to be interested; and we decided we had done all we could for them at present.
We commenced meetings here July 26. The attendance has not been large, yet there seems to be some interest. The people treat us kindly, and look after our wants. Favorable reports of our meetings are given in the papers.
Having visited Georgetown recently, we find that there are four who have decided to keep the Sabbath. One subscriber was obtained for the REVIEW, and three for the Instructor. For this we thank God and take courage. We shall visit them occasionally to encourage and help them what we can, and to labor for others who we trust will yet be constrained to obey the truth.
We hope our labors here will not be in vain. Shall remain as long as it may seem to be duty, and try to do them without excuse. We hope to be remembered in the prayers of God’s people. E. W. Whitney. J. Q. Foy.
