Ellicottsville, N. Y.

By D. T. Fero; D. B. Oviatt

WE pitched our tent here June 26. Have given in all twenty-three discourses, on the prophecies, second advent, and Sabbath. There is a deep interest manifest. At the close of our meeting last Sabbath, eighteen expressed their determination to keep the commandments, the Sabbath precept included. All these may not prove reliable, but we look for a goodly number to obey the truth.

We have had an opposition sermon on the Sabbath, from "Rt. Rev. A. C. Coxe, bishop of western New York." We also have the influence of Dr. Morin of Boston, against us. He is teaching "science, falsely so-called." This, together with the opposition of the local ministers, makes a strong current to meet. But so far the Lord has graciously sustained his work, and in him alone we humbly trust for its success. Praise his name.
