MEETINGS IN INDIANA.

By JOHN BYINGTON

When I last wrote I was at Burr Oak. The 18th of August I came to South Bend, Indiana, and found that most of our brethren had moved to Mishawaka. I therefore came to this place the next day and had meetings the two following evenings. There are about ten here keeping the Sabbath. Bro. Harvey met me here and took me to North Liberty. Here on Sabbath and first-day we had five meetings of interest. The Lord was present to help. On first-day, the 25th, five were baptized in the same place where Bro. Bates baptized fifteen, seven years since, the same month and same day of the month. I think Bro. Harvey is more than ever in the work. He has felt the hand of the Lord heavily upon him, but is now free indeed. Brethren think Indiana is too much neglected. They want some strong preaching brother at North Liberty soon, this fall if possible. Can they have help? Some have lately received the truth.

The evening after the Sabbath was a very interesting time while we attended the Lord's supper and washing one another's feet. Two families who had lately commenced obeying the truth came four miles this evening to witness the ordinances and to learn the way of the Lord more perfectly. It was good to be there. I returned to Mishawaka first-day evening, and had meeting Monday morning. One sister here was baptized who could not get to North Liberty. I look back with pleasure and thankfulness upon my visit to North Liberty.
