RENO, NEVADA.

By E. A. Briggs

AFTER spending several weeks in visiting different companies of commandment-keepers in the more remote parts of Nevada, I came to Reno and began meetings the 3d ult. at this place. Our services in the new meeting-house are well attended, and scores admit that we have the truth in regard to our various doctrines. As usual, however, few are willing to take up the cross of living out unpopular truth; yet eleven names have been added to the covenant, and to-day I baptized five persons who have recently accepted the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.
The faithful work done by two of our Bible-readers in this place for several months past, has done much to bring about the favorable issue of these meetings. May God help those who have undertaken to keep his commandments, to hold fast. For says the Lord, "If any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him."
My address will hereafter be, Hawthorne, Nevada. E. A. BRIGGS. March 11, 1888.
