Visits to Friends in New York

By Hiram Edson; Horace W. Lawrence

From Brn. Edson and Lawrence.

Dear Bro. White :—We spent last Sabbath in Copenhagen, and found a few, including Bro. Harvey Goodenough, that love the present truth, and do not embrace the spiritual views of others in that vicinity. We visited Martinsburgh on First-day, in company with the friends from Copenhagen where the First-day friends gave us their chapel and appointment for the afternoon and evening, which was improved by showing our present position as connected with our past Advent experience. We trust the friends there will soon lose their honest fears by the reading of our publications, and a close examination of the whole subject.

In our visit to Watson, the present week, we were gratified with a short acquaintance with some of the seventh-day Baptist friends of that place. They manifested their willingness to hear the truth by coming out through mud and snow to attend our two evening meetings. They desire a further acquaintance with our views of present truth.
