CORVALLIS, OREGON.

By H. W. Reed

I LABORED in Corvallis fifty-five days, preaching fifty-six times. The meetings were held in a private house, as a public place could not be obtained. A prominent citizen gave as his opinion that the reason of the refusal of all public places of meeting, was a "combined scheme on the part of the churches not to allow me a general hearing."

Our room would seat only about twenty comfortably, and yet, out of so small an attendance, eight signed the covenant, and one or two others are keeping the Sabbath. I obtained four subscriptions for our papers, and sold several dollars' worth of books. The church has a membership of five, and I pray that those whose hearts have lately been made glad by the truth, may be faithful and soon be added to this small organization.

I am of good courage in the Lord. May I have the prayers of God's people while I labor for the spread of present truth.
