Note from Brn. Hoffer & Baker.
Bro. White: We are here in Mendon, Mercer Co., Ohio. We have given sixteen discourses, and have, so far, succeeded in awakening an interest that is lively and deep, people turning out in storm and mud very generally, filling the school-house where we meet to about its capacity. It took some time to break down prejudice, but it seems now to have given way in a good degree. We are now in the midst of the merits of the law and Sabbath questions. The powers of darkness are pitted against us, but we feel mighty through God, to the pulling down of their strong holds. The fruit of our labor is not yet manifest, neither can we now tell what will be the result; but indications are such as to greatly encourage us to believe that there are some honest souls here who will ultimately walk out in all the light of the most glorious present truth.
