The Meeting at Bowling Green,
By JOS. CLARKE
ACCORDING to appointment, Bro. and Sr. White met with the church about two miles north of Bowling Green, last Sabbath, May 22, and all were made glad by their presence and encouraging words. In the forenoon, Sr. White spoke from words found in 1 John 3:1. The love of God manifested in sending his Son, the sacrifice he made in man's behalf, and the great trial of Abraham, were dwelt upon, as showing, in a small degree, the love and regard of God for his people and for their salvation. She also spoke of the suffering and labor endured for man by the Father first, who consented to so great a sacrifice, and by the Son, who so cheerfully and patiently suffered. In the afternoon, Bro. White spoke upon 1 Thess. 5, which applies to our times. Many very interesting points were made from this chapter, which is almost boundless in its scope and application. The subjects of the advent, church order, religious growth, spiritual gifts, health reform, and Bible sanctification, are all mentioned in this chapter. Bro. White has improved greatly in bodily and mental health, within the past year. He says he has increased his weight twenty-five pounds by the practice of continued cheerfulness, and courage in God, and by ignoring Satan's dark schemes to dishearten and discourage him. All were profited by this meeting; all were made glad and thankful; and all hope for more such visits, JOS. CLARKE,
