Social Meeting.

By Wm. Covert

SABBATH, June 18, 1870, will long be remembered by the commandment-keepers of Howard and Tipton counties, Ind. Our brethren and sisters of Big Wild Cat met with us of Little Wild Cat for the first time on that day, and held a social meeting. We felt that the Lord met with us. We all feel much encouraged to press on, in the way duty directs, realizing more than ever our dependence on God for help.

Bro. Seaward being with us, spoke twice to the edification and comfort of all. The meeting was a source of joy and profit; but especially did Bro. Seaward rejoice that he could now meet with so many brethren where he had so often met the enemies of God’s law. Most of us have lately started for the kingdom of God. We begin to realize something of the straitness of the way, and feel that we need the prayers of all God’s people that we may be faithful in confessing and forsaking our sins in order to be sheltered from the gathering storm.
