NOTE FROM BRO. CORNELL.
By M. E. Cornell
Bro. SMITH: Since my last report Bro. Lawrence has arrived, and by request held meetings another week at St. Charles with good effect. More have decided upon the truth, and several more subscribed for the Review and Instructor. Several of the youth are embracing present truth. Last week I gave three lectures at Parshallville, under somewhat discouraging circumstances. The house at Chesaning, three miles below, had been closed against me; but not willing to give it up, I began to sound the trumpet as near by as possible. Several from Chesaning heard and were interested. The people generally thought the house should be opened, and finally one of the trustees prevailed over the others by assuring them that if they did not open the house for me, he would close it against all. Last evening was the first. The house was full, and I never saw better attention. We shall remain here indefinitely as the interest may demand.
M. E. CORNELL.
