MEETING IN IOWA.

By R. M. KILGORE

According to appointment, the Brn. and sisters from Pilot Grove met with the Washington church Sabbath, Nov. 2. Although we were not favored with the labors of a minister, the brethren took hold of the promises of God, and the Lord was pleased to bless us throughout the meeting. It was truly a refreshing season.

The desire of each was humility and a nearness to God. A deep searching of hearts was manifested by all present.

As Bro. Nicola read to us the solemn testimony on page 54 of No 13, our hearts melted within us, while each asked “Is it I?” Deep solemnity rested upon us. Many solemn, impressive and affecting testimonies were borne. New resolutions were formed; and vows were made to start anew for the kingdom.

We are thankful for the straight testimony, and that the way is narrowing down, and though the standard is high, we hope by the assisting grace of God, to come up to it.

The Brn. and sisters were greatly encouraged to hear the result of the good meetings in Battle Creek, under the faithful labors of Bro. and Sr. White, and the influence of the Spirit of God. They rejoice with the church there in the good work done, and the freedom with which Bro. and Sr. White have again entered upon their labors. They, with the church at Battle Creek, have our prayers and warmest sympathies.
