NOTE FROM BRO. BYINGTON.
By John Byington
DEAR BRO. SMITH: It is written: "Paul planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase." Brethren that have broken the ground and planted or sown the seed of present truth in different places that they cannot well visit often, are glad to hear how the work is prospering. I spent last Sabbath in Convis, where Bro. Frisbie and others labored hard last winter. The meeting on the Sabbath was at sister Scott's. About twenty were present, and all felt that it was best to go forward. Sister Clarke who received the truth at the Marshall tent-meeting, spoke with a feeling heart. On first-day held meeting at the Junction School-house in that town. There was a good congregation for that place, and the best attention. It did me good to talk on present truth, and I thought there was an ear to hear. The husband of sister Smith of that place said to me as I left the school-house, that he should not break the Sabbath of the Lord any more. May he with his companion keep in letter and spirit all of God's commandments and the faith of Jesus, and be numbered with those who have no guile in their mouth, and are without fault before the throne of God. I left for this place yesterday. Expect to spend the Sabbath at Centerville. Staid with Bro. Webber last night. They were called away in the evening to see a very sick brother of sister W.'s. How uncertain is life! It is but a little longer that we can do for our friends.
