Meetings in Falmouth and Westbrook, Me.
By J. B. Goodrich
By the advice of Bro. J. H. Waggoner, I left home March 19, to join him in Monthly Meeting with the church in Falmouth, Me. The weather was unfavorable and the gathering was small, but we had a very good meeting. Bro. W. gave us three excellent discourses at this meeting, which made a good impression on the minds of the people, and I felt very thankful for the privilege of listening to the good instruction of this tried servant of God. Tuesday, 23, I parted with Bro. W. in Portland. He left for Boston, and by his advice I returned to Falmouth to continue meetings there. The snow was going off and the roads were very bad, so but few could get out to meeting at first. I held the most of the meetings at Allen's Corner, Westbrook, and as the roads began to grow better, the congregation began to increase, and I continued meetings until April 25. I hope to see some of those that are convinced that we have the truth come out and obey it; for it will do no good to say that we believe the truth, unless we obey it. The law of God demands obedience; “for not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.” I hope the Lord will bless those that say they believe they heard the truth, to receive the love of it in their hearts and be found keeping all the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus, and a have shield in the day of wrath. Administered baptism, April 25, and three united with the church. I was glad to find those that came out last fall, holding on to the truth. May the Lord bless them all, is my prayer. May 1 and 2, met with the church, at Canaan Me., in company with Brn. Stratton and Barnes.
