Note from Bro. Cottrell.
By R. F. Cottrell
I HAVE just closed a series of meetings in Wethersfield, Wyoming Co., N. Y. Gave twenty public discourses besides three to the brethren at private houses on Sabbath days. Five were baptized, three of whom had previously embraced the truth. Of the other two, one embraced the Sabbath during my stay there, was a professor of religion but had never been baptized, i. e., immersed, the other, the wife of Bro. Antisdale, had made no previous profession of religion. There was a good attendance generally, considering that it was in the time of their wheat harvest, and there was a scarcity of laborers in consequence of enlistments into the army. Many were convicted of the truth, and some resolved to search the evidences of our position and decide upon it. One man in particular, as influential a church member, probably, as any one in the vicinity, publicly confessed his conviction before the largest congregation we had, on the156last evening of our meetings, and said he was determined to investigate and decide the question, and exhorted his friends and neighbors to do the same. May God help him and them to decide for the truth. May the Lord bless the little company of believers in that place, and lead them to feel their responsibilty as the light of the community, and to attain to the high and holy position which is the privilege and duty of the people of God.
