OHIO

By A. O. Burrill

Appleton, Aug. 4.—For three weeks we have been earnestly canvassing the law and Sabbath questions, and yet only a few have decided to obey; still our congregations are large, and all we have said does not seem to offend any one. Last Sabbath we observed as a fast day, and since then a little more light has been breaking in. Nearly all who come are members of some church. The ministers remain quiet. As we visit from house to house the people are very kind, and nearly all admit that we are right. We believe the Lord has a people here, and we are determined to persevere in our work.

A private letter from Waterford says, “Our cause is prospering finely.” And another from Corsica states as follows: “The articles in the Morrow Co. Sentinel last winter have been the means of bringing forth fruit. I hear from Carding of some who are about to keep the Sabbath. There are five more Sabbath-keepers here.”

There are many invitations for labor coming in, and we pray that the Lord may send forth more laborers. A. O. BURRILL.
