Note from Bro. Bates.

By Joseph Bates

FROM the 4th to the 18th, the church in Monterey held a series of meetings, confessing faults one to another and laboring for Christian fellowship and united effort to overcome the wicked one, that God for Jesus' sake will restore unto us the joys of his salvation, and uphold us by his free Spirit, that we may fully and faithfully repent, confess, and forsake all our sins, and be ready for the day of God that hasteth greatly.
By invitation Bro. W. H. Littlejohn was with us. We feel deeply indebted to him for his faithful, impartial, and judicious management of the cases of every member as their names were called from the church record. It was manifest that the Lord blessed and strengthened him for this work,
We are glad to speak thus favorably of our condition, and hope the living members will now go forward unitedly in the strength of the Lord.
JOSEPH BATES.
