Note from Bro. Sanborn.
By Isaac Sanborn
BRO. SMITH: On my way from General Conference, I held five interesting meetings in Chicago with those brethren living there, and some others from Indiana. On Sunday two were baptized. A good interest was manifested by those who came in to hear the word. Tuesday evening following, I preached at Clinton Junction, in the Methodist meeting-house, from the following text: "But we desire to hear of thee, what thou thinkest; for as concerning this sect, we know that every where it is spoken against." Acts xxviii, 22. By this much prejudice was removed. The next morning, Bro. Williams kindly took his wagon and carried us to Johnstown. Sabbath following we had a good meeting at Johnstown Center. June 10th, and 11th, I met Brn. White and Loughborough at Monroe. The 17th, and 18th, I was at Hundred Mile Grove, which has already been reported. The 24th, and 25th, was at Saud Prairie, Richland Co. Wis., on my way to Minnesota, to fill brother Loughborough's appointments. Here I had two good meetings. The 27th, commenced meetings in this place, Brodtville, Grant Co., Wis., where Bro. L. G. Bostwick had commenced a course of lectures. I have now given ten lectures under quite unfavorable circumstances, which have consisted in rains, and the celebration of the Fourth of July. Yet I think there will be some that will obey the truth. I shall give four lectures more before I leave. July 10th, yesterday afternoon, I preached on the seal of the living God; had uncommon freedom. There were three Methodist preachers present. This morning we repaired to the water where three were baptized. Others are deciding. May God help them, is our prayer.
