The three churches of Windsor, Oneida, and Charlotte, Mich., met according to appointment July 21, at the house of Bro. Carman, each church being well represented, the majority of all the members in attendance. A great disappointment was felt in not meeting with Bro. and Sr. White. Yet we felt to lean entirely on the arm of the Lord and were not disappointed of the blessing. While engaged in prayer the sweet, melting, tender spirit of the Lord rested upon us. We found indeed that in drawing nigh to God, he did draw nigh to us, and is truly a present help in every time of need. When we rose to speak of the goodness of God in leading us into the truth, and in reviewing the past, saw his guiding and protecting hand from the rise of the message to the present, we could but render thanksgiving and praise, and rejoice in the prospect before us. While speaking of the glories of the coming kingdom, the evidence of its near approach, and trying to consider our ways and the necessary preparation of heart in order to be found spotless, the pearly gates of the city of God seemed very near, the golden streets shone with a brighter luster, and our dear Saviour revealed himself to us by his Spirit in all his loveliness. Many hearts will not soon forget the meeting at Windsor. Numerous testimonies were given designed to encourage and strengthen, and especially one from Bro. Richmond, of Leslie, connecting the health reform with the message, showing the work to be accomplished by it and that with a sound mind in a sound body we shall be able to serve God with acceptance; that the Lord wants a prepared, and not a preparing, people, and that the latter rain cannot come till God's people are ready for it. Oh for a willing mind and heart to keep pace with the message, to always be ready to take a step forward in the right direction. This seems to be just the thing we need. Our meeting was specially blessed, and we feel to rejoice that these Monthly Meetings have been arranged. One person, a young lady, expressed for the first time her determinations to keep henceforth all the commandments of God, and try to obtain an entrance into the everlasting city. Thus closed one of the best meetings I ever attended. May we ever remember the source from which our blessings flow, and keep our eyes fixed on that dazzling crown that shines with more than earthly splendor, reserved in Heaven for those who hold fast the profession of their faith firm unto the end.
