Monroe, Wis.

By O. H. Pratt

The Lord is at work for us here in Monroe. Since our last camp-meeting, we have enjoyed much of the sweet Spirit of the Lord. There seems to be a gradual coming up to the help of the Lord against the mighty. In our last quarterly meeting, the brethren from McConnell's Grove and Avon, met with us; and as we united together in the worship of God, our hearts were knit together like David and Jonathan's, and we were led to exclaim with the psalmist, “Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me bless his holy name.” Bro. Sanborn was with us to impart unto us that sweet consolation from the word of God which we so much needed. The Lord bless him. We believe that time is fast drawing to a close, and what we have to do must be done quickly, that we may be like men waiting for their Lord when he shall return from the wedding. And as we cannot properly be considered as waiting, until we have our work done, let us all be in earnest in the work of putting away all our sins and becoming pure and holy before God. Above all, do not let us forget to remember those at the head of the work, that our prayers may go unitedly to that God who rules all things, that he may bless and sustain them and give them strength to perform the great amount of labor they have to do.
