MEEKER AND GLENWOOD SPRINGS.—January 8-14 was spent with the church at Meeker. On the Sabbath we celebrated the ordinances of the Lord’s house, which was a precious meeting to those present. Sunday morning we held the quarterly and annual business meeting, at which time a full corps of officers was elected, and instructed in their several duties. Meetings were held each night during my stay, and were well attended by appreciative audiences. In addition to the evening services, several day meetings were held, besides Bible studies in the homes of the people. The good Spirit of God was present with us, and as a result five consecrated themselves to God; and six identified themselves with God’s people. Truly, it was good to be there; for the dear Lord was there. To him be all the praise.

On my return to Glenwood Springs, we held the first ordinance meeting in our new church building, using new utensils bought especially for use in the celebration of these solemn ordinances. The Lord came very near, and blessed us abundantly. Those present thought it the most solemn ceremony of the kind they had ever witnessed. Although the church building is not quite ready for dedication, yet all felt to praise God for the marvelous manner in which he has worked for us, in giving the new commodious building, the necessary equipment for these ordinances, and best of all, precious souls to worship him therein. We are led to say, “This is the Lord’s doing; and it is marvelous in our eyes.”
