DEAR BRO. WHITE:—On the 1st and 2d inst. I met with the brethren and friends at Lorain. Our meetings at this place were deeply interesting and encouraging. On First-day a goodly number of attentive hearers were present, who listened with interest to the word spoken. I think the way is opening in that vicinity for others to embrace the last message of mercy to this world.
Sabbath and First-day, 8th and 9th, held meetings at Norfolk, which we think resulted in the furtherance of the gospel. Some appear anxious still in that vicinity to know the truth.
The Sabbath and First-day following, met with the church and friends at Bangor. The brethren and sisters there appeared to feel the necessity of taking the shield of faith that they may stand in the coming day.
The brethren in this County contemplate holding some general meetings in a few weeks, for the purpose of getting the truth before the public generally. They desire, providence permitting, that Bro. W. S. Ingraham should be present at the time of these meetings, and labor a while in this vicinity if he can. I design laboring here as long as it may appear to be duty.
