PENNSYLVANIA

By Milton C. Wilcox; J. E. Robinson

Keeneyville, Tent No. 5.—Closed our meetings at Knoxville Aug. 24, after continuing there eight weeks. We found it a difficult field of labor, on account of the course pursued by some who professed the truth but failed to live it out. Their voice had been lifted in the streets in loud and boisterous argument, till all were disgusted. Deep-seated prejudice prevailed, and the stay-away argument was the only one used in opposition. Prejudice, however, was removed to a great extent, and we look for fruit in the future. Three took their stand for the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus, and others are almost persuaded. Our thanks are due to our Sabinsville friends, and especially to Bro. D. Baker, for their care and attention to our temporal wants. May they find treasure in Heaven.

We pitched our tent in this place Aug. 27. Have held three meetings. The people are kind and friendly, inquiring after our wants and inviting us to their homes. We desire to be vessels that are clean and fit for the Master's service. To this end, brethren and sisters, pray for us.
