Monthly Meeting in Vassar, Mich.
By S. A. DOUD
THE Monthly Meeting for Tuscola Co., Mich., was held at Vassar according to appointment. A goodly number of friends came from Watrousville and Tuscola, and we were glad to meet with them. We hoped to have the presence of a messenger to teach us, but as Providence had otherwise ordered, we did the very best we could by ourselves. Our elder read for our benefit several texts out of the Word, and gave his mind on the same, after which we had a social meeting, nearly every one taking part. We believe that all were satisfied and felt that it was good to wait before the Lord, judging from the expression of a brother who was invited to have some refreshments before he went home, who said, “No, I am full; I have had a whole loaf.” It was our secret prayer that none might go empty away while there was enough for all and to spare. We feel to thank God that through his goodness, Bro. Waggoner came this way. He did us much good. Our hearts are yet warm with the good feeling he created among us, and our prayer is that God will bless him and restore his health and strength, that he may do other churches the same good. We feel more than ever to thank God for the light of present truth, and it is our determination by his assisting grace to be more faithful in the future, and live nearer to him. Continue to pray for us all. S. A. DOUD.
