R. J. LAWRENCE

By R. J. Lawrence

From Bro. Lawrence.

BRO. WHITE: I joined the brethren with the tent June 19, about one week after it was pitched in Ithaca. I found a good interest among the people to hear.

We continued there about four weeks longer. The Lord blessed in the preaching of his word, and the interest increased to the close.

Last Sabbath I met with them again. About eighty were present, old and young. Found those firm who had taken a stand on the truth; and others taking hold of the truth who had not when we left with the tent. The work is progressing there. There is a strong opposing influence exercised by the different classes of professed Christians and their ministers, which only has a tendency to open the eyes of the honest to see the spirit by which they are actuated.

We have become convinced that God can take worms to thresh mountains, when the instruments will submit to be used by him. The Lord has been with us from the commencement. Bless his holy name! Pray for us.
