THIS is a town of about one hundred and fifty inhabitants, situated about sixteen miles north east from Salem. I began meetings here on the evening of March 13, and continued till April 12, giving twenty-six discourses, when the meetings were discontinued, till May 1, when I returned and held meetings till May 5. The interest was good throughout. Five decided to “Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy.” Sold books amounting to $7.00, and obtained three subscribers for the SIGNS.SITI May 24, 1877, page 168.1

April 27-30, I was with Bro Van Horn at Jefferson, where twelve covenanted to return to the observance of the Sabbath of the Lord, to meet together on that day for worship, for the study of the word of God, and to encourage and help one another on in the Christian life, keeping the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.SITI May 24, 1877, page 168.2
