NEW YORK.

By Chas. B. Reynolds

Ogdensburg, Tent No. 1.—Shipped the tent to Carthage Sept. 8, after being here twelve weeks. Twenty-one have commenced to keep the Sabbath. Sept. 7, baptized twelve in the St. Lawrence River. The high sloping bank made it convenient for spectators. Not only was every available inch of ground and the long dock occupied, but two large lake steamboats were densely crowded, and a vast fleet of small boats on the river. Fully three thousand persons were present. A brother over seventy-five years old, who had never before made a profession, was with his wife buried in the watery grave. Notwithstanding the vast multitude, order prevailed, and solemn impressions were made on honest hearts.
It is conceded that the whole city has been thoroughly awakened to the truths of the last message. May the Lord give courage to the faint-hearted, who so freely acknowledge the truth, to obey; and may his blessing continue to rest upon the work here.
CHAS. B. REYNOLDS.
