Report from Bro. Frisbie.
By J. B. Frisbie
BRO. WHITE: After lecturing two weeks at New Hudson, I closed my meeting on account of the hurrying time of haying and harvesting, and the short evenings. After hearing a number say that they would like to attend but they could not work hard all day, as help was very scarce, and then be up late nights, I concluded with the brethren, to wait awhile and then return after the hurry, if possible, and continue lectures there. I baptized seven at Milford and they united with the little church. We had a good season in attending to the ordinances with the church there. I journeyed on north to Tyrone, by the request of some of the church from there. I gave three discourses, baptized three, and celebrated the Lord's supper. Here I formed some acquaintance with Bro Cornell's father and family. I expected to lecture in Lindon on first-day evening, but was disappointed in getting the only hall to be had, which was owned by a Presbyterian woman who did not like to have such demoralizing doctrines preached in her hall; for she was afraid it would corrupt the youth and children of the place. I learned that Universalists have a regular appointment there. Therefore the next day I went to Owasso, to Bro. Griggs' where I held meetings three evenings. Here I met a number of friends from St. Charles, whom I was glad to see. I came from there to Oneida where I found the little church trying to live. But death, and removals from the place has reduced their numbers. After I saw Bro. J. Byington's appointment for Charlotte I concluded to meet him there, so I visited the church at Windsor where a few still live, who were the first who came out under my labors over eight years ago, who still are firm in the present truth. P. S. It is a general complaint brought against me by my friends, that I do not report myself. I intend to do so more than I have. I am determined to hunt and fish for souls with all diligence.
