OUR WORK IN BUFFALO.

By H. E. Robinson

The winter campaign is now over, and busy preparations are being made for the summer's work. Sabbath meetings and Sunday lectures have been the only public services, but these have been supplemented by canvassing, visiting, and Bible readings. We find some honest, conscientious persons, of good influence and ability, ready to receive the present truth, and it is cheering to see the zeal and enthusiasm with which they try to interest others. It seems so plain and good to them that they wonder that so many are unwilling even to hear it explained. Others are in the “valley of decision.” Twenty-four have commenced to keep the Sabbath since the mission was opened, who, so far as we know, are faithfully holding on. A few of these have moved away; but those remaining, with others who were already in the truth, make a company of about thirty persons.

The Sunday lectures are well attended, and some prominent men are very favorable to the cause. The city newspapers give a good report of the lectures nearly every week.

Eld. R. F. Cottrell is now stopping with us. We are glad of his help, and with him I intend to hold a few meetings with scattered Sabbath-keepers outside of the city. Bro. H. W. Carr is helping in the canvassing work, who, with Bro. Gleason and myself, constitute our outside working force.
