Apple River, Ill.

By John F. Ballenger

Visited the friends in the vicinity of Hudson Mound, May 16, where Bro. Hammond and myself labored two years ago. At that time three sisters commenced keeping the Sabbath. As a result of their faithful example and the reading of the SIGNS, we found others ready to accept the truth. Eight were baptized. Eleven are keeping the Sabbath. One sister commenced keeping the Sabbath from reading tracts procured by her husband at the tent while Bro. Hammond and Colcord were at Scales Mound, she never having heard a sermon on the subject. This shows us that we should not be discouraged in sowing the seed, though we do not immediately see the fruit.
