Quarterly Meeting at Hundred Mile Grove.
By N. M. Jordon
BRO. WHITE: The Quarterly Meeting at Hundred Mile Grove, Wisconsin, May 5 and 6, was blessed of the Lord, and his people were encouraged and strengthened to continue to seek for glory, honor, and immortality. It was a reviving season; the good Spirit of the Lord was with us. Cheering testimonies were given, and fervent prayers offered to the Lord, that he would prepare us as a church, for the coming season of fasting and prayer. Letters were read from absent members of the church, which were cheering to us to learn that they were still strong in the faith of the glorious truths of the third angel's message, and were striving to overcome. The church resolved by a vote, to renew their covenant with the Lord. In the evening after the Sabbath, we had a business meeting; the church withdrew fellowship from one member. May 9th, the church assembled together at the hour appointed for fasting and prayer. A goodly number were present. These meetings with us, were remarkable for humility and contrition, and for the solemnity which pervaded our place during the four days of fasting; especially the three first days. The voice of supplication and confession, and of weeping, filled the house, while the people of God were pleading and agonizing with him to revive his cause, bless his servants, and to deepen the work of grace in the hearts of his people. We have had good meetings, and by the blessing of the Lord, we feel that they have had a sanctifying influence upon us as a church. We believe that God has heard his people, and will answer their prayers. The Resolutions on Dress, lately adopted by the Battle Creek church, were adopted by the Hundred Mile Grove church, May 11. Yours striving to overcome.
