Reno, Nevada.

By John Norton Loughborough

We have now held fourteen meetings in this place. I have given thirteen discourses on the prophecies and immortality question. To these lectures the people have listened with marked attention. Our congregation has never been less than one hundred, and sometimes as many as five hundred have attended.

On Tuesday evening, July 30, Sister White spoke with freedom to some four hundred hearers, on the words of John, "Behold what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us that we should be called the sons of God." Her presence and discourse added much to the interest of the meeting, and left a favorable impression upon the public mind.

We come this week to the question of the Sabbath and law. We shall go over matters as rapidly now as possible, as we have to close on the evening of the 18th to meet other engagements. My time is well occupied in meetings and visiting. God blesses in the work, and we hope for souls as the result of our labors. Pray for us. J. N. LOUGHBOROUGH. August 4, 1878.
