JOSEPH BATES

From Bro. Bates.

DEAR BRO. WHITE:—Since my return from the West, I have spent one Sabbath with my family and brethren in Fairhaven, Mass., since which time, I have been holding meetings in Mass. and N. H. Since Oct. 15, I have held two-days meetings at New Ipswich, Washington and Newport. At all these meetings the Lord refreshed his people and renewed their strength.
At the last mentioned place, the meeting was held at the house of Bro. Stephen Smith. Himself and companion are fully decided to suffer with the remnant, that they may eventually reign with them. His two daughters were baptized during the meetings and are rejoicing in the truth.
We have also held some interesting meetings in several other places in N. H. I spent the last night with Bro. Baker and family. He is arranging his domestic affairs so as to visit the brethren in Melbourne, C. E.
