DEAR BRO. WHITE :—The cause is still progressing here. Since you left, Bro. Alex. Campbell, and my own dear brother, F. Bezzo, have come out and professed their determination to keep the Sabbath of the Lord; and there is still a lively interest manifested on the part of several, who beforetime appeared to be careless and indifferent about the subject of religion. Again, there are some who, I think, see the truth, and would embrace it, were it only popular; but for such I have no sympathy; may the Lord show them their true position.
Our dear Brn. Frisbie and Nottingham are really in the work. The Lord bless them! I feel that I have great reason to rejoice in the case of my brother before mentioned who, just previous to your coming to this place, had arrived from Canada, almost poisoned to death by reading the Advent Harbinger. So full of prejudice was he, that it was difficult getting him to hear a word that Bro. White had written, or even to attend our prayer meeting, where his feelings finally compelled him to arise and confess that he believed the Spirit of the Lord was with the brethren, whether they had the truth or not; but when he came to hear the truth presented by you, and heard all the objections made by the Harbinger, fairly stated, and clearly removed, his prejudice had to give way, and he now rejoices that he has been permitted to hear the third angel's message. Praise the Lord! So you see here are three brethren, viz: J. B. Frisbie, Bro. Nottingham, and F. Bezzo, whom the Lord has called from the no-Sabbath ranks, who are capable through his grace, of proclaiming the present truth; may God bless them, and send them forth to labor in his harvest; for "truly the harvest is great, but the laborers are few."
