Report from Bro. Sanborn.
By Isaac Sanborn
PURSUANT to appointment I commenced meetings at Elkhorn Grove, Ills., where Bro. R. F. Andrews had previously given a course of lectures, the result of which was that quite a number commenced keeping the Sabbath, and living the truth. I protracted the meetings two weeks. Bro. Andrews assisted me much at these meetings. The meetings closed the third of April, with the following results : fourteen were baptized, and a church of twenty-one members organized, with S. B. fund of $200 a year. I speak not to flatter when I say that I never have seen a company of Sabbath-keepers so young in the cause who were so determined to receive the whole truth, and to live it out in their daily walk and conversation, as these are. I trust they will all be faithful to the end. I sold at this meeting about $18 worth of books, notwithstanding Bro. Andrews had previously sold about $40 worth. I also got two new subscribers for the Review. I consider it a very profitable meeting to us all. I trust all will be faithful to the end, that we may all stand on mount Zion with the 144,000. I arrived at Johnstown Center in time for the quarterly meeting the 9th and 10th, which was thinly attended on account of the rain and bad going. I gave two sermons, and baptized five, and four were added to the church. Others are deeply interested. May the Lord help them, is my prayer.
