Meetings in Watson, Mich.
By Merritt E. Cornell
Our lectures in this place commenced Fourth-day evening, March 26th, and continued over First-day. In consequence of the repeated warnings they had received during the past Winter, against us, we found much prejudice existing in the minds of the people. At the close of the first meeting one man objected to having any more such lectures in the house; but the majority were in favor. The interest increased each evening, until there was a general investigation. Prejudice gave away, and there was perfect freedom in speaking the word; for the testimony was received. The very man that wanted the house closed, became interested, and at the close of the last discourse spoke in favor of the Sabbath. Several supplied themselves with books, and two subscribed for the Review. Two have decided to observe the Lord's Sabbath, and others are investigating. Many seemed anxious to hear more, but being in the timbered land, it was thought best to postpone the lectures until the roads were settled. On hearing from the different places where I have been laboring during the past Winter, I learn that the investigation is still going on, and that several more have decided in favor of the truth. The calls for lectures are fast multiplying in every direction. O for the time when the Lord of the harvest, shall send forth many laborers—faithful watchmen—so that all that have ears to hear may know what is coming, and prepare. Amen!
