Report from Bro. Sanborn.
By Isaac Sanborn
BRO. WHITE: I have closed for the present, my labors in Gridley, Ills. I have been here two months, and preached forty-six times. Some of the time was taken up by other ministers especially by one Elder T. Brooks, Disciple, who preached six sermons, three against the Sabbath, two against the mortality of man and one against the gifts of the Spirit, all of which I reviewed before large audiences. The Elder's opposition and my reviews have waked up a great interest in the minds of the people to know the truth. I sold about $45.00 worth of publications. Nineteen subscribed for the Review, and three for the Instructor. Eighteen have publicly confessed the truth, and are now united with Bro. and sister Slown in keeping the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus, and many others we believe will soon fall into the ranks. May the Lord help them is my prayer. I have now commenced a course of lectures in Pontiac, Livingston Co., Ills. The Presbyterian meeting-house has been kindly opened for me to lecture in. I have given three lectures to interested congregations. I expect to remain here three weeks, the Lord willing. Pray the Lord of the harvest to make the truth powerful unto the salvation of the people.
