SABBATH, October 3, was a good day for the churches of Glenwood and Decatur. These churches held their quarterly meeting together. I spoke on the importance of unity. If each individual would let the mind of Christ be his mind, there would be perfect harmony; all differences would cease. The subject was briefly presented, and a testimony meeting followed. The power of God came into the meeting, and hard feelings that had existed between some were put away. I believe the time has come for each one to examine his own heart. Then we shall not dwell upon one another's faults. Let us look to Jesus, the true pattern. By beholding we become changed.

We have been holding meetings at Mendon for a few days, and the blessing of God has attended the effort. Four souls have decided to obey the Lord and keep all of God's commandments. Sabbath, October 24, I spoke on the importance of baptism. A good testimony meeting followed, and three expressed a desire to be baptized. At the close of the meeting we met upon the bank of the St. Joe River, and to our surprise the husband of one of the sisters decided to go with his wife, and they walked into the water together. The power of God rested upon the candidates, and as they came forth from the water, their faces beamed with holy joy. May these dear souls continue to walk with their Master.

The commission given in Mark 16: 15-18, also in Matt. 28:19, 20, is applicable at this time, and we expect by God's assisting grace to go forward as the way opens. Our courage is good in the Lord. B. HAGLE.
