A. P. HEACOCK

By A. P. Heacock

The week of prayer has been a blessed season to the St. Joseph [Mo.] church. On account of our scattered condition, not all were able to attend all the meetings, but nearly all have the REVIEW, and we believe the Holy Spirit visited the homes, as well as the public meetings, when the good readings were read. Yesterday was an especially good day. The people caught the spirit of the message, and “rejoiced, for that they offered willingly.”

The collection, which was counted and reported before adjournment, amounted to $71.36. When the report was given, tears of joy were shed, and all united in prayer that God’s blessing might attend the offering, and be with those to whom it will come. Next Sabbath the children will follow the program in the REVIEW of December 1, when we expect the collection for the same purpose to swell our collection to twice what it was last year.

Our people are generally poor, as to worldly goods, and we still have a debt on our schoolroom, but we expect this donation not to hinder, but to help in paying this debt.
