Report from Bro. Snook.
By B. F. Snook
Sabbath, April 11, I spent with the brethren at Waterloo, and enjoyed a good meeting. The brethren here have been doing well since Bro. Cornell's visit. Sunday, 12th, went to La Porte, and preached three times. Also preached Monday and Tuesday, and organized. We had a most excellent meeting, and prospects are bright for better days with this church. Wednesday returned home after four weeks' absence and next day went to Lisbon, where on Friday 17, we were happy to meet a general assembly of our good folks from the sister churches. The Lord was in the whole meeting. There was the feeling and melting heart, the tearful eye and good countenances all shining brightly with glorious hope. We had a sweet and happy communion season. Six were baptized and all felt the necessity of pressing together and living nearer to God. The cause is truly rising in the west. Prospects never have been so good for a great work here. From every direction the cry comes, Come and help us. Dear brethren be patient and do your duty faithfully and you shall have help. I will visit you all soon as I can. I am going constantly. My field is large enough for three or four ministers to labor in. The harvest is great but the laborers are few. My prayer is that the Lord may carry on this good work.
