Report from Bro. Rodman.
By P. C. Rodman
Our Monthly Meeting in South Kingston, R. I. was both interesting and profitable. The reports from different churches were encouraging, showing a steady advance of the truth. The church with whom we met have had much opposition, but the Lord enables them to press on in the work with courage, trusting in the God of truth. The church at Newshoreham reports by letter, that one has moved away, but the Lord has added one in his place to encourage their hearts, and they are pressing together. The Abington church report that they are striving to overcome. Three have recently been added to their number, decided to be obedient to Heaven's King by keeping all his holy law. The church in Exeter report a growth in grace, and in the knowledge of the truth. They have meetings every Sabbath, and one evening meeting during the week. The Lord is meeting with them, and blessing as they never experienced before. The church in Ashaway report a pressing on in the work. Bro. Macomber having moved into the place, they expect to start a Sabbath School soon, and raise the standard in the name of the Lord. Bro. S. N. Haskell reports the cause in his region—South Lancaster, Mass.—as encouraging; the brethren being full of hope and united to work for God. The interest in this meeting increased from the commencement; all the brethren expressing themselves as encouraged and confirmed in the present truth; and that the Lord is moving out a people by the third angel's message to prepare for translation. Shall I be among them? Oh for strength and wisdom to continue in the word of truth until we meet the angelic messengers that shall escort us to glory at the bidding of the Captain of our salvation. Sabbath and first-day, 24 and 25, in Exeter, preached four times. First-day evening organized S. B. Thus we press on.
