PENNSYLVANIA

By Milton C. Wilcox; J. E. Robinson

Keeneyville, Tent No. 5, Oct. 2.—We partially presented the Sabbath question before attending the camp-meeting at Hornellsville. We left our tent standing, the people assuring us that it would be perfectly safe in our absence. We found their word verified on our return. Commenced meetings again the 26th, and found the people anxiously waiting to learn more of the “present truth.” Three or four were keeping the Sabbath, which number has now increased to nine or ten. The people here, as a class, are kind, orderly, and intelligent. Those who have taken a stand on the commandments are among the best in the place, and are all heads of families. Others have expressed themselves as “almost persuaded.”

There is a large field opened here for labor, and requests for meetings are coming in from all quarters. We consider this an important point in this new Conference, not only on account of location, but the freedom from prejudice that exists here. We earnestly request the Pa. Conference committee to provide this place with suitable help.
