New Jersey

By W. H. Smith

Newark.— After our camp-meeting, it was thought best by our committee that I remain in Plainfield, to follow up the interest awakened. After much prayer and earnest thought, I consented to withdraw from my work in Newark for the summer, and do the best I could for Plainfield.
This was no small sacrifice for me to make, as we had our new church well on the way to completion, and hoped to occupy it this fall. But as the work in Plainfield progressed, I was convinced that it was God's will that I should labor there during the summer, and his blessing has rested upon the work done. After a little over seven weeks, we had the pleasure of seeing as fine a company of young Seventh-day Adventists as I have ever been instrumental in bringing into the truth. From eighteen to twenty have taken their stand fully for the truth, and a goodly number of others are deeply interested, who we hope, by proper labor, will soon take their stand.
The newspapers in Plainfield stood right by us till the close of our effort, which we feel added greatly to the success of our work. I returned home September 16. Brother Medairy, my helper, is to stay in Plainfield and continue the work. My time will be divided between Newark and Plainfield, until the company is fully settled in the truth. We ask all readers of the REVIEW to join with us in thanking God for his manifold blessings.
