Monthly Meeting at Newton; Mich.
By J. H. Waggoner
As the arrangement made by the committee, left me at home, the first Sabbath in August, I attended the meeting at Newton. It was quite well attended by members of the churches of Convis and Burlington. I think there were more present than I had seen at that place before. There was some disappointment in the absence of the Brn. from Battle Creek, who were expected. I tried to make up somewhat for this by speaking to them; and so we examined the Scriptures on the time of trouble coming on the wicked, and the glory to be revealed for the faithful. All seemed to feel that there is nothing lost in living the truth, though crosses and tribulations be our present lot. In the afternoon the time was filled up with good, spirited testimonies; it was a good season. We all left encouraged to press toward the good meeting in the kingdom. Their monthly meetings are great helps to the cause, and they lose much who fail to attend them. The next, Sept 1, will be at Convis.
