A Good Day.

By A. S. HUTCHINS

To my mind, and I think to many others, yesterday, Jan. 25, was a day long to be remembered by those who enjoyed the meeting at Battle Creek. After making a few remarks from John xvi, 33, I listened to 54 testimonies from the brethren and sisters, which were cheering and soul-refreshing. As I reflect upon what the Lord has been doing for this people since Bro. and Sr. White were here in October, I am reminded of the words of the fervent prayer of David: “Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit. Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee.” Ps. li, 12, 13.
This is the good work now going on in our midst, for which we praise the Lord. And unto him we cry, “Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.”
In the afternoon I was present at the Bible Class, which was one of the best I ever attended. In view of such precious privileges as these, I can say with all my heart, “A day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.”
A. S. HUTCHINS. Jan. 26, 1868.
