Douds, May 18.—Met with the church at Douds May 14-16, in company with Eld. Washburn, and held five meetings. They were all holding on to the truth, and nearly all were making some progress in the Christian course. A few are advancing rather slowly, if at all, because of an unwillingness to take up plain Christian duties. We fear for these, unless they very soon cheerfully submit to the requirements of God’s word. Three were baptized by Bro. W., and we hope for several others to unite with the church soon. Considering the outside influence, which has been trying for more than eighteen months to ruin the cause in this place, the friends have acted nobly. Regular Sabbath meetings are sustained; also an interesting Sabbath-school of nearly forty members. A little more faith and courage, brethren and sisters. May God bless and strengthen you each for the conflict, and make you channels of light.
