MEETINGS IN AMHERST, N. H.
By L. L. Howard
BRO. SMITH: On my return from Battle Creek, I stopped at Amherst, N. H., to attend a previous appointment. I was glad to find the little company holding on their way, and striving to stand in the counsel of God. I tarried with them over two Sabbaths, and held thirteen meetings. Some were very precious seasons. This company is young in experience, but they manifest a willingness to learn, and are making good progress in the truth. I was glad to have Bro. Canright join me the last Sabbath and first-day that I was with them. Sabbath morning, we had a social meeting, in which nearly all took a part. Bro. C. spoke at half-past ten. I spoke in the afternoon, after which we repaired to the water, and nine happy souls were buried with their Lord in baptism. We then assembled at the house of Bro. Mace, and had a meeting in which fourteen united in church covenant, after which we had a very precious season in attending to the ordinances of the Lord's house. During these meetings, three new ones have started to keep the Sabbath, two of whom took up their cross in public. The prospect of this church is truly encouraging. If they keep humble, the Lord will add to their number. I pray that his blessing may still rest upon them.
