From Sr. Foster.

BRO. SMITH: It may be a satisfaction to some to hear from the church at Hundred Mile Grove, Wis. Our Quarterly Meeting was held according to appointment, Jan. 23 and 24. The church was well represented. Brethren who came from a distance, gave in soul-stirring testimonies which told loudly their love for the truth. Sabbath, we had a prayer and social meeting, and celebrated the ordinances. Nearly all seemed to feel the importance of heeding the faithful testimony to the Laodiceans. And when we determined to arouse, and lay hold of the work of overcoming in earnest, we enjoyed the blessing of the Lord.

Our social meeting on first-day was a profitable one. Bro. Jordon made some remarks upon Dan. ii, 31-45, to our edification and encouragement. And as he spoke concerning the fifth universal kingdom now soon to be set up, I felt to adopt the language of Bro. Sanborn, “Shall I be there? I must be there. By the grace of God I will be there.”

A number have lately commenced keeping the Sabbath around here who now meet with us. Others are investigating. Prejudice seems to be yielding with some, and we expect ere long more fruit will be made manifest. We feel encouraged, and would ask the brethren and sisters to thank God, making mention of us always in your prayers. Philemon iv.

Yours in hope of the coming kingdom.
