Quarterly Meeting at Oakland
By E. M. Crandall
DEAR BRETHREN AND SISTERS: It has been a long time since I have said anything through the REVIEW, but I still love to hear from the brethren and sisters through our excellent paper. I can say I love the Lord, and feel he has been very kind to me; and I feel to praise his holy name for what he is doing for his people in these last days. Dec. 4 and 5, the brethren and sisters of Little Prairie, Johnstown, and Oakland, met in Quarterly Meeting with the church at Oakland; and the Lord was pleased to graciously pour his Spirit upon us as we tried to draw near to him by a confession of our sins, and with renewed determination to serve him better in the future. As the brethren and sisters were attending the washing of feet, liberty was given to all to speak, and as the people began to bring in their testimonies, the Spirit rested upon the congregation to that degree that all in the house felt its gracious influence; and one backslider expressed his determination to take up the cross and live for God in the future. Pray for me, dear brethren and sisters, that I may be a faithful servant of our Heavenly Father, and meet you all on Mount Zion. E. M. CRANDALL.
