BATTLE CREEK, MICH.

UNDER the caption of “Another Precious Sabbath” the editor of the Review writes: “The good work in the church at Battle Creek, noticed in previous numbers of the Review, still continues. Sabbath, March 6, was perhaps as triumphant a day as ever occurred in their experience. A meeting was held at the commencement of the Sabbath, so largely attended that the auditorium of the Tabernacle was well filled. After a powerful exhortation from Bro. White, and testimonies from many others, a call was made for sinners and backsliders to turn to the Lord. About as many responded as on the Sabbath before, between seventy-five and a hundred pressing forward to the front seats. A disposition to seek the Lord earnestly was manifested by many of these. One, a prominent student at the College, by hearty confession of past backsliding, and by asking forgiveness of teachers and students of the College, pastor and members of the church, and finally of the Lord, for past errors and wrong influence exerted, put himself on the side of the right in a manner to greatly affect and rejoice all hearts.”
