Solon and Peninsula, Ohio.

By Dudley Marvin Canright

MAY 28, Brother Underwood brought me to Solon. He spoke to a few in the evening. Thursday, we held meetings all day. There are only four or five keeping the Sabbath here, but these are good souls. They have a Sabbath-school and regular meetings. There is considerable interest outside; but there is also bitter opposition. We have not found the like in any other part of Ohio.

Peninsula is about twelve miles from Solon. Two Seventh-day Baptist sisters lived here, and so opened the way for the truth to be presented in this place. The husband of one of the sisters was converted, and I had the privilege of baptizing him on Sunday. An educated Christian lady has also embraced the truth. She has a sister who is a missionary in China. A lady friend from Michigan was with her while we were here. She is deeply interested in the truth, and we feel quite sure she will embrace it. They have a Sabbath-school. D. M. CANRIGHT.
