The Truth Spreading at Hastings
By David Hewitt
DEAR BRO. WHITE:—I have just returned from Hastings. We had there five meetings. The Lord greatly blessed us with his Holy Spirit. The saints were comforted and refreshed. Sinners trembled and wept. Two confessed the truth in meeting, and two more declared their intentions of keeping the Sabbath of the Lord our God, and more are under conviction that we have the truth. O may the Lord establish them in present truth. Three concluded to take the Review. Some will be baptized the first opportunity. Since the saints have commenced meetings there, Spiritualism has increased. Thus we see the counterfeit follows the true. We think that the message of the third angel is fast rising here, and the Lord is opening the way for the loud cry. O may we be ready, for the truth is fast spreading. One family has embraced the present truth in Bedford since the conference. Yours in hope. DAVID HEWITT. Hastings, Barry Co., Mich., July, 1853.
