The Work Progressing in Brunswick
In a subsequent note Brn. Loughborough and Cornell say: Our meeting is progressing finely here. Sunday evening had a congregation of 1000 persons. Last evening Monday—although there was a great war meeting in town, we had about 500 out to hear. We have given now six lectures in Brunswick. Conviction seems to fasten on the minds of the people that there is some truth in what they hear. Last evening they listened with breathless attention to the first angel's message. We could appeal to them on these things as of matters "not done in a corner." They had heard the proclamation for themselves and when they saw the evidence that this work fulfilled prophecy, we should judge from their appearance that they were convinced that the work which they accounted a thing of naught, was the work of God. May the Lord grant that many here who loved the Lord's coming then, may find their moorings and again rejoice in the light. Books are taken and the people want to know the way. The distress and war in the land affects the minds of many. They want these wonders explained. Pray for us, that we may give the trumpet a certain and strong sound here. J. N. Loughborough.
