Report from Bro. Sanborn.
By Isaac Sanborn
BRO. WHITE: I closed my lectures in Pontiac last first-day, preaching only twenty times in the three weeks which I spent there. There being a strong undercurrent of opposition, I had small congregations, yet a few were interested in the truths they heard, one decided to obey, two were baptized, two subscribed for the Review, and I sold about ten dollars' worth of books. There are now five Sabbath-keepers in Pontiac, and prayer and social meetings every Sabbath. Sister Bramhall from Braceville, met with us in our last meetings, and encouraged us much by informing us that the truth was doing a good work among her neighbors. There are many openings in this section of country for the message; and the Macedonian cry comes in from many places, "Come over and help us." May the Lord speed the time when help can be sent them. I have also closed my second series of meetings at the Gregory school-house in Mc Lean Co., where I had three interesting meetings with this little company of Sabbath-keepers twenty in number, and their neighbors, many of whom are deeply interested in the truths of this last saving message. I trust in the Lord, that he will yet lead many of them to acknowledge and keep all his commandments, and the faith of Jesus, that we may meet them in God's everlasting and peaceful kingdom. Amen.
