G. H. ROGERS

By G. H. Rogers

Burlingame, March 6.—Meetings at Eagle closed Feb. 23, with a bright prospect before the little company who have covenanted to keep the holy law. Most of them have had a severe struggle with the powers of darkness. Intoxicants of almost every sort had been used by some, and only the strength which comes from God could enable them to overcome. An encouraging Sabbath-school is organized, and we expect that still others will join with them. A good letter from the company at Milan makes my heart glad. The Spirit of God attends their meetings.

From Eagle we went, in company with the director of Dist. No. 9, to Alta, where we spent a week for the purpose of giving instruction in the keeping of T. and M. books and accounts. We left the friends much encouraged, and, as we trust, with a good knowledge of the books. Several who were opposed to us during the meetings there last winter, are now anxious to hear a course of lectures. The preaching of the truth has left a good impression, and I feel sure that a short series of meetings would lead several to decide in its favor. I hope soon to return, or that some help may be sent them. Oh, how precious seems the truth of God, when we compare it with the spasmodic efforts Satan so often makes to put on a garb of devotion, when he sees the people taking a stand for the right! May God give us more of his Spirit, that we may be able better to do his will and to be a light to others.
