Note from Bro. Bourdeau.
By D. T. Bourdeau
Bro. White: I arrived in Maine the 15th inst., and joined Bro. Cornell in his labors of love the 16th. I have felt free and at home since my arrival in Maine. I first attended two of Bro. Cornell's meetings at Corinna, and then went to Exeter with him. He had previously given a few lectures in that place. While at Exeter, I was enabled to speak four times to congregations composed mostly of Adventists, and had the privilege of teaching the truth from house to house. Truly it did my soul good to hear Adventists relate their past experience, and I was blessed while dwelling on the great truths of the third message, and while showing what God has done through that message since 1844. We have several warm friends in Exeter who would be very happy to see you and Sr. White again. I have reason to believe that a visit from you would be productive of much good. From what we have seen we infer that Maine is a promising field of labor; but prejudice must first be removed, and the people must become acquainted with our spirit and views. They must have an opportunity to learn that we have no fellowship for a rash, censorious and condemning spirit. If a clear presentation of the truth, and living out the truth, will not convince the honest and lead them to action, what will?
