We have been here nearly four weeks. Hebron is a small village in a good farming country. Present truth has been before the community for more than twenty-five years. A company of about forty, as I am informed, was brought out upon the Sabbath by J. M. Stephenson. Many of these did not well represent the cause and by either giving up or doing worse, filled the minds of the people with prejudice.
Some have been faithful and by their lives have laid a foundation for a permanent work. At first we were received with suspicion, but by a careful effort, prejudice was made to give way, and we have had a candid hearing by the best of the community. We have presented some of the leading features of our faith and many are convinced, but it is to be feared will be slow to obey. The Methodist minister has preached once in support of the "Christian Sabbath" (?) and promised to do so again. Many not being satisfied with his effort, better talent has been sent for. The public mind is thoroughly aroused, and our prayers are for help from the Lord of the harvest.
