NOTE

By A. S. H.

Our meetings at Springport on the 24th ult., and at Convis on the 31st, were well attended. We were thankful to meet with several brethren and sisters, at Springport, from Clarence and Lee, who have recently embraced the Sabbath under the labors of Bro. Lamson, and others.

Passing through these towns on our way to Convis, we formed several pleasant acquaintances with the brethren. A brother in Lee, some seventy years of age, is among those who rejoice in present truth, as they who have found a pearl of great price. Though a professor of the Christian religion about one half of a century, he knew of no religious denomination whose faith he could indorse, or with whom he chose to unite, until he embraced the Bible Sabbath and the hope of the immediate coming of the Saviour. With Seventh-day Adventists, he feels at home. Said he, “I prize more highly the truth which Bro. Lamson brought us, than I should a present of ten thousand dollars.” His testimony in the meeting at Convis was harmonious with the Spirit of the Lord, and highly cheering to the old pilgrims.

The brethren and sisters brought a good report from Newton. They testified that the quarterly meeting held there two weeks previous was a blessing to the church. If the brethren here continue to walk in the light, and press forward for victory, they may be strong, and strengthen the hands and hearts of others. May the Lord bless them with overcoming grace.

I call to mind the meetings and visits, from house to house, with the dear friends in Convis, with a good degree of satisfaction. We felt the presence and blessing of Jesus with us, as we labored to do them good. They are a kind people; and we ardently desire their present, future, and eternal welfare. A. S. H.
