Meetings in Northern Indiana.
By Joseph Bates
BRO. WHITE: My last report was from Burr Oak, Mich. Bro. J. L. Locke met me on my way south, and took me with his team twelve miles to my appointment in Salem Center, Ind. There I held six profitable meetings with the church, and celebrated the ordinances of the Lord's house. One was buried by baptism. Some sixteen years since, in company with Bro. A. A. Dodge, of Battle Creek, I found a few families in Salem, who gladly received and commenced keeping the message of the third angel, Rev. xiv, 9, 12. I am glad to say that they are still holding fast and struggling to hold on their way through the message with others that were afterward added to their numbers. Oct. 15, Bro. J. L. Locke, and Bro. Doty, brought me on my way some sixteen miles to the Indiana R. R. From thence I came to South Bend, Ind., where I held three meetings with the brethren and sisters, visited and labored with them until the 19th. Bro. J. Harvey came with two teams for myself and others who wished to go some fourteen miles to attend the meetings in his place in North Liberty, Sabbath and first-day Oct. 20th, and 21st. The stormy weather prevented some from attending this meeting in N. L., but those who did attend were strengthened and much encouraged. The celebration of the ordinances was a solemn and interesting season to us all. By the kindness of Bro. J. Harvey his team brought us all to South Bend again where we enjoyed a cheering season in waiting before the Lord. On the 24th inst., we came here in good health. Praise the Lord for his loving kindness and tender care for his waiting people.
