Note from Bro. Bates.

By Joseph Bates

BRO. SMITH: Since March 27th, I have been holding meetings in Bedford and Ross Center. We held meetings in the first mentioned place in two separate school districts. As our time was limited for six meetings it was arranged to divide the meetings. We were soon satisfied that it would have been much better to have held the meetings in one, or continued longer in each place, for some in each place manifested a desire to hear still further.
In Ross Center school-house we gave eight lectures. The people were much stirred up to hear about the near coming of the Lord, and the keeping of the Commandments of God and the Faith of Jesus. One family fully decided to keep the Sabbath, and have the weekly paper. Others acknowledged they had heard the truth. We trust they will continue to examine and decide in favor of the whole truth, and be found among the waiting remnant at the coming of our blessed Lord.
