Calls to Proclaim Present Truth
By H. W. Lawrence
DEAR BRO. WHITE:—Since my last, I have parted with Bro. Edson, and have visited several towns, and held meetings in new places, where nothing had previously been done to spread the present truth.176In Adams, I found the Seventh-day Baptists more noble than those who make void the fourth commandment by their Sunday tradition. Many of that people want the whole truth, and some of them are anxious that the traveling brethren should visit them, and proclaim more fully the last warning. There is now an opportunity for the truth to be proclaimed in Le Roy and Antwerp, where the first message has been proclaimed. All of the above named places could be reached by an appointment through the Review. In view of the many calls on every hand, I am ready to inquire, are our brethren fully awake to the importance of working while the day lasts? Souls are starving for meat in due season. The way is now opening for renewed efforts to be put forth by the remnant, every where. On my return home, I was happy to meet Bro. Hutchins in Conference with the tried brethren in St. Lawrence Co. It was comforting to surround the Lord's table, with about forty of the dear saints who enjoyed the union Jesus prayed for in John xvii, 11. The brethren here are firmly progressing in the truth and work of God. The word spoken by Bro. H. was cheering to the flock, and all seemed better prepared to go without the camp, and patiently suffer for Jesus and the truth. H. W. LAWRENCE.
