Monthly Meetings and Christian Fellowship
By W. D. SHARPE.
ACCORDING to appointment March 16th, Bro. Smith from Norwalk and Bro. Abbott from Wakeman were with us at our first Monthly Meeting. The Lord also met with us and we had a free time in waiting upon him. There were not as many at the meeting as we expected. We hope the brethren will feel the necessity of turning out at these meetings, for we are admonished to not forsake the assembling of ourselves together as the manner of some is, but to exhort one another, and so much the more as we see the day approaching. I have just returned from Fremont where I have been attending another Sabbath meeting in which the Lord poured out his Spirit upon us, so that we all felt as Peter of old did, it was good for us to be there. I feel encouraged to strive a little longer for that crown of glory that will never fade away. Our next Monthly Meeting will be held at West Townsend, Apr. 13, commencing at 11 o'clock A. M., and we hope the brethren will come out to take hold and help move the work onward. I would say to the brethren that I believe these meetings are one step in the right direction. Therefore in writing, my object is to stir up your minds by way of remembrance. I rejoice that by the mercy of God I was ever led to embrace the present truth, and that I have been led in a way that I knew not of. God is still leading his people, step by step. When we were in darkness in relation to cleansing ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, the light came upon the subject of Health Reform which we believe to be a part of the third angel's message. I would say to those traveling through this way, that they will find a welcome home at Bro. Herald's or at my house. We believe that this place would be a very good point for a course of lectures, and we would like to have some one come and give us a course if the Lord wills.
