Pittwood Church Visited by Elder Stewart and Brethren

By Mary Burkitt

Illinois.

Pittwood, Feb. 4.—Last Sabbath, Jan. 31, was a good day for the church at this place. Eld. T. M. Stewart, accompanied by Dr. Pottenger and other brethren from abroad, made us a short visit before his departure for Canada. We were all much rejoiced to see Bro. Stewart once more, and listened with deep interest and pleasure to his words of admonition and kindly advice. Elds. E. O. Hammond and W. H. Owen, who are holding a series of meetings in a neighborhood some eight miles east of this place, where a deep interest is awakened, were also present. Brotherly love and good feeling prevailed throughout the meetings; and though we were saddened at the thought of Bro. Stewart’s soon leaving us, all felt that the meetings were a source of much comfort and encouragement, and we rejoice to know that in the near future if faithful, we shall participate in a general meeting from which there will be no breaking up or separation.
