By A. H. Daniels

From Bro. Daniels.

BRO. SMITH: Bro. McCormick and myself have just been down to Trempeleau Valley, and held four meetings, but under somewhat discouraging circumstances. There was a Methodist quarterly meeting within two miles, and there had been a protracted meeting, and another one to commence on Monday evening in the school-house where we were. But I think there was some good done. Many wanted me to come back and preach to them again. Three or four acknowledge the truth as far as they have heard, and will send for the Review as soon as they can spare the money. Bro. Hillebert has acknowledged the whole truth, and has sent for the paper. I think he will obey it. May the Lord help him to do so.

Yesterday, which was the Sabbath, I was called upon to attend the funeral of a little child aged three years. I showed that all that die by Adam's transgression will be made alive by Christ's death and resurrection, that there were two resurrections; that on those who share in the first, the second death hath no power; that none but sinners would die the second death; and that none were sinners but those who had transgressed God's law; for sin is the transgression of the law, and the wages of sin is death. Therefore none are amenable but sinners. The parents seemed interested and were much affected. May the Lord help them to keep his commandments.

Yours in truth.
