Ludlow, May "a, 1888.
MIR. Editor: Dear Sn:-We are here enjoying q
season Of refreshing from the presence of the Lord
Some awakening among christians, and soms hope
full conversions 10 God, were manifest previous 70
the hast Sabbath in April. On that day, brother
William Grant commenced labor with Us which he
continued two weeks. The Lord was with him.
The spirit Of the Most High rested upon him, and
upon the whole congregation. Christians have
seemed to be made alive from the dead. Many
sinners became anxious 70 know what they should
DO % be saved, and goodly number have submitted
TO Christ and hope in his mercy.
. Brother Grant felt ii his daty, in the course Of
his preaching, to expose the souldestroying errors
of Uniyersalism, which he did in opinion, with
great fairness, decision and truth. Those of our
citizens who still adhere to that doctrine we sup
pose, did not regard it as we did.
Their preacher has seen fit to commence a prose-
cution against brother Grant, for reporting here
say story, as such.
II is due to brother Grant, from Us, to state that
we regard him with the highest sentiments of es-
teem as a true judicious, and faithful minister of
our Lord Jesus Christ. We do not think him blame
worthy for anything he has said done while with
US. We are not apprehensive that the least posi-
BILE injury will be sustained by him in person,
property, character or usefulness, in consequence
Of the abovenamed prosecution. We do most
heartily recommend him as faithful and efficient
evangelist to any church or people who may be
disposed to employ him. His invitations to attend
protracted meetings are far more than he can COM
ply with.
In behalf of the Baptist church in Ludlow,
- d J. M. GRAVES, Pastor.
! p. 8. We wish you to publish the foregoing
here written, in your next Telegraph. We should
not wish you to say much in his favor, that of
any other man, it not that his character is at
tackled by his opposers. J. M. G.
