By I. Sanborn

WATERLOO.—Feb. 8 I commenced a protracted meeting, and continued two weeks, visiting from house to house, and holding twenty-seven meetings. I found that they had not had a missionary meeting for over two years; so we re-organized a society of twenty-seven members. They take ten copies of the Signs, and $10 were raised to buy tracts. Thirty-six members were added to the church, one a Prussian-German who was educated for a Catholic priest, and who seems a very devoted man. All have pledged themselves to faithfully bring in all their tithes.

The old members of the church think it was the best series of meetings ever held here. Many are deeply convicted of sin, and are almost persuaded to come over on the Lord’s side. We still hope and pray for them. The Lord willing, I shall return sometime in May and hold more meetings, and will baptize all who then want to follow their Lord in that ordinance.
