WE have now been here eighteen days, and have given twenty-four discourses. The interest has been good throughout. Some have already decided to obey the truth and others are almost persuaded. Last Sabbath there were twelve at our Sabbath meeting some of whom are keeping the Sabbath, and we know of four or five others who wanted to come, but Satan hindered them.

On Sunday, August 4, two of the ministers of the place, the Disciple and the Presbyterian spoke against us on the Sabbath question. The Disciple minister of course would have the whole law abolished, but our discourse on the two laws set that all straight. The Presbyterian minister just as strenuously upheld the perpetuity of every part of the moral law, only that we should keep the first, instead of the seventh day. We reviewed him Monday evening, may the truth ever prevail, and to the Lord be all praise and glory. We hope for much good fruit here. Pray for us. SITI August 15, 1878, page 238.2
