Growing Interest and Baptisms
By Editor
Since the above was in type, we have received the following: The interest in our meetings in this place is growing better, and nearly the whole community are convinced that the things they have heard at the tent, are the truth. We are encouraged to labor on in this place, so we have decided to stay with them another week. We had meeting in the tent last Sabbath. About thirty were present. Five testimonies were borne, and fifteen expressed, by rising, their determination to obey the truth. Yesterday we had a good meeting. There were about three hundred present. In the morning we gave a discourse on baptism, after which eight followed their Lord in the solemn ordinance. The blessing of the Lord has attended our labors in this place. We feel to give him all the praise; for the work is his. We ever want to be found doing our duty, that we may confide in the promises of God, and have his approbation to attend us daily. Pray for us that our labor may be successful in the cause of the Lord. Yours in haste.
