Report From Bro. Ingraham.
By Wm. S. Ingraham
I HAVE just returned home from the western part of the State, having traversed a circuit of two hundred miles with my team. I attended Quarterly Meetings, as follows: Greenwood Prairie, Pleasant Grove, Pine Island, Deerfield, Shelbyville and Jo Davis. Nearly all these meetings were seasons of encouragement and refreshing. I had a strong desire to attend the General Conference, but had written to the churches throughout the State that I would be present at their Quarterly Meetings; and as some important business was to be transacted, it was necessary for a messenger to be present. But as soon as the notice appeared of the General Conf. I addressed a letter to Bro. Pierce signed by the committee to have him go as a delegate. Perhaps his poor health forbade. But if the letter sent to me by the Gen. Conf. Committee had not failed to reach me in time, I should have left the interest of our own State for the present and attended the great gathering at Battle Creek. I hope the measures adopted there for the spread of the truth not only in our country but also in Europe may be abundantly blessed.
