Mt. Zion.—The quarterly meeting at Mt. Zion, Page Co., Jan. 10, 1880, opened with an interesting discourse by Bro. Mowrey at the commencement of the Sabbath. There was a large congregation. The Lord was present by his Spirit. On Sabbath morning we had an excellent prayer and social meeting, and the ordinances of the Lord’s house were celebrated. Brn. R. T. Fultz, Stillwell, and Mowrey, of the Soliloquy church, and Bro. Frank Zirkle, of Indiana, were with us.
The church took fifteen copies of the Instructor for the Sabbath-school, and one of Good Health and three of the Signs to be used in the missionary work. Tithes were paid to the amount of $10.20.
Pray for us, brethren, that we may at last be saved in the kingdom. G. H. PETTEFISH, Church Clerk.
Soliloquy.—The first quarterly meeting of the Virginia Tract Society for the year 1880 was held at Soliloquy, Shenandoah Co., commencing Jan. 4. After the opening exercises, appropriate remarks were made by the elder, who urged to faithfulness and diligence in the work of the Master. Remarks were then made by Bro. J. R. S. Mowrey. Our social meeting Sabbath morning was interesting and profitable. Bro. H. A. Rife then preached a practical discourse. On examination of the church record, seventeen responded to their names, six by letter. Two of these letters were from Bro. E. B. and Sr. M. Gaskill, formerly of New York. Bro. F. Zirkle and his sister, of Mechanicsburg, Ind., were with us. Three were added to the church, two by baptism. The ordinances of the Lord’s house were celebrated, and all who took part in them were encouraged and strengthened.
At the business meeting $21.45 was raised for the T. and M. society, and $2.50 for the V. M. society. Twenty-one copies of the Signs were taken, fifteen of the Instructor, and seventeen of Good Health, besides eighteen copies of Testimony No. 29. And $28.40 was paid as tithes. Brethren, pray for us that we may be doers of the word, so that when the Master comes he will say, Well done, good and faithful servants. R. T. FULTZ, Librarian.
