By S. T. CHAMBERLAIN

Iowa.

At the quarterly meeting at Lisbon, brethren and sisters were present from Marion, Fairview, Tipton, and Anamosa. Bro. D. T. Shireman spoke on Sabbath and first-day, showing us what the Lord required of his people. It is a dreadful thing to partake of the spirit of the world and the works of the flesh.

Meeting on first-day continued with interest, and the brethren continued to pray for a present help. Bro. Shireman spoke showing us how to arm ourselves with the mind of Christ. Sow unto the Spirit and we shall reap life everlasting. The interest of the meeting steadily increased until the close. What a pity it is to go along deceived. The Scriptures were presented making a chain of evidence in favor of walking after the Spirit. What an effort we should make on our part to have the mind of Christ. He is our highest example. We must follow him if we ever go to the same place.

According to previous notice the central Iowa tract society met on first-day. Bro. Jesse Dorcas gave us an interesting account of his labors. The right spirit is being manifested in this work, and at our next meeting we hope others will report.
