Report from Bro. Sanborn.
By Isaac Sanborn
BRO. WHITE: I have given sixteen lectures here in three weeks under the most unfavorable circumstances that ever occurred in any of my lectures. In the first place there are five meeting houses in the place, one of which I lectured in, which is about half a mile out of town. 2. The weather most of the time was very dark and rainy; therefore but few came out to meeting. 3. The political excitement was very high all the time. 4. And worst of all the people's minds had been much prejudiced by the inconsistent course of some age-to-come preachers and people. Yet notwithstanding all these things, there are a few coming out on the Lord's truth, so that we can truly say that our labor has not been in vain in the Lord. I send six subscribers for the Review; and as surrounding circumstances and my appointments forbid my staying any longer at present, I leave with a promise to return as soon as practicable; and as the Baptists have kindly offered the use of their house, which is in town, I shall probably occupy that when I return. Till then, I pray that God may deepen the work commenced upon the hearts of those who have heard and they become bright and shining lights to others around them, and thus be led, and lead others, to keep the commandments of God, and be saved in his kingdom.
