Meetings at Medford, Cleveland, Round Grove, and Home
By H. Grant; L. H. Ells
Medford, Cleveland, Round Grove, and Home, Jan. 17.—After spending a short time at Mansfield, where Bro. Van Kirk was laboring as reported in Review of Jan. 16, we came to Medford. Here we spent Sabbath and Sunday with our families and the church. New Year's day we were with the little church at Cleveland. The Spirit of God rested upon us as we tried to draw near to him. Jan. 4. We commenced meetings at Round Grove. The brethren here were much discouraged; but the Spirit of God worked wonderfully. Confessions were made, and wrongs put away; then the spirit of love came in, and we celebrated the ordinances. Jan. 10 we commenced meetings with the Home church, which has had very little help since its organization. One commenced to keep the Sabbath and united with the church, and others are very much interested. While we were celebrating the ordinances, some rowdies in the street spent the time in destroying property and filling the air with wild screams, telling what they would like to inflict on the people of God. We are now at the Lower Sioux Agency, to remain as long as duty demands.
