MEETING AT BRIGHTON, IOWA.
By GEO. I. BUTLER.
Last Sabbath and Sunday I spent with the church at B. I feel encouraged at what I saw and felt there. The main body of the church are still moving forward. A good congregation still come out to meeting. They have an interesting Sabbath School. I felt that the proper time had come to commence the work of church discipline. Sunday I spoke at some length on that subject, trying to show its importance, the necessity of union, the spirit in which it should be carried on, the benefit accruing to the church and individuals when properly conducted. Then four who had apostatized were disfellowshipped, and immediately after, six were admitted to the church. Seven were baptized. A good impression seemed to be made on the community. We felt that a good work had been done in our meeting, and the cause advanced. Washington, Iowa, Aug. 10, 1869.
