A Good Day at Dell Prairie
By Bro. Tenney
BRO. TENNEY writes from Dell Prairie Wis.: We have abundant reason for acknowledging the goodness and mercies of God. In his dealings with us we recognize the hand of a kind and indulgent Father. We have not experienced severe trials, nor has death ever entered our midst. But from time to time have been added to our number those who esteem it a privilege to bear the reproach of Christ, and face the frowns and opposition of the world for his sake. Sabbath, Feb. 6, was a good day to us. Bro. Jordon, with several others from a distance, met with us. The Lord graciously manifested his presence in our meetings. Four united with the church, and all were much encouraged. On account of God's goodness to us we would seek for a deeper work of grace in our hearts. We wish that we were more entirely given up to the will of God. Many are the temptations which Satan is constantly throwing in our way; and often we stumble in his snare. We realize that the way to Heaven leads through trials, temptation, and persecution. We believe that to the people who are trying to prepare for translation they are indispensable. And we sincerely believe that the gift of the Spirit of God in pointing out the errors and sins of those who are engaged in this great work, is necessary to its accomplishment. We earnestly desire your prayers.
