From Bro. Sherman.

By B. C. Sherman

BRO. SMITH: We wish to say to the brethren and sisters that the church at Rockton seems to be trying to make some little advancement in spiritual things; and although some appear indifferent, yet the majority are trying to get nearer the Lord. We feel there is a great work for us to do preparatory to the meeting of our Lord and Saviour in peace. Some seem sensibly to feel their condition, and appear to be in earnest to prepare to meet Jesus at his coming. May the Lord help us all to get ready.

We have had many good prayer and social meetings since Jan. 15, and our prayer still is that God will deepen his work in the hearts of his children, and grant that those who are still indifferent may be awakened and put shoulder to the wheel.

Brethren, pray for us, that we may make the service of God the first, and great object of our lives, that we may be fully prepared to meet him when he comes to make up his jewels, and to enjoy that rest that remains for the children of God.
