Note from Bro. Cornell.
By Merritt E. Cornell
Bro. White: I have now given ten discourses in this place (Waukon, Iowa). Five and six loads of the brethren and sisters come up quite regularly, and render efficient aid in singing. Besides our people, we average about fifty, I think, and many of them are becoming deeply interested. Some sort of meetings are kept up every evening to keep the people away from the court house, it would seem, but some few men and women come in spite of popular opinion. Several are reading with interest. One man read a ten cent book about half through, and remarked that he would not take a dollar for what he had already received. The prospect begins to be quite fair for a good result here. In the mean time a good work is going on in the church, we think. The Laodicean message is being revived, and agitate! agitate! is the order of the day. The more we agitate, the more freedom comes in—the more darkness is manifest—and the earnest ones are encouraged.
