Report from Brn. Loughborough and Hull.

By John Norton Loughborough; Moses Hull

OUR meeting with the brethren at Adam’s Center was one of interest to us, and we trust will be of profit to the cause there. Nine discourses were given in all. On Sabbath and first-day the house was well filled with attentive hearers. Our social meetings were refreshing, as the Spirit of the Lord seemed to have access to all hearts.

On Monday our meeting was for the purpose of considering the wants of the church. Four new ones united with the church, among them a brother who has been held back for a time by his connection with worldly associations. The church now numbers twenty-two members, and have a commodious house of worship. It is their earnest request that Bro. and sister White hold meetings with them on their Eastern tour, if they can make it convenient so to do.

The subject of systematic benevolence was also considered during the meeting, and all were ready to enter into it on the principle set forth on the first page of our S. B. books. The result was, the figures were raised from $56 per year, to $197,66.

Yesterday we came on to this place, ninety miles, and had a long, interesting, and spirited meeting with the church here, after which the brethren and sisters remodeled their pledges to the S. B. fund, adopting the tithing principle, which increased their figures over $20.

This afternoon we go on to Rouse’s Point, one hundred miles, to meet evening appointment there. We are well, and free in the Lord. Brethren, pray for us.
