Evangelistic Tour Through Northern Counties
By Horace W. Lawrence
DEAR BRO. WHITE:—I have just returned to this place from a tour of two weeks mostly in Lewis and Jefferson counties. Visited new fields mostly, with publications, holding meetings as the weather would permit. Found several in Watson that love the truth and are anxious to have the traveling brethren visit them. Was enabled to speak once to the people in Le Roy at the Union meeting-house of that place. There was good attention, and the friends expressed a desire for further effort in that vicinity. Several in Adams and Antwerp were urgent in their requests for a public presentation of the present truth. We could only furnish reading for the present in several places we visited, hoping some one would soon pass and teach the truth to those anxious to know our present position. The brethren in St. Lawrence Co. are now rising in union and strength; feeling the importance of obeying the whole truth. It seems as though the loud cry was just upon us. The brethren here are getting into the best state for the Lord to work, that they ever have been in. The necessity of walking by faith in the third message experience is being understood better than heretofore. My prayer is that those desiring a place with the remnant may realize the much tribulation to be patiently endured, and remember Lot's wife. Yours striving for the Kingdom.
HORACE W. LAWRENCE.
