ILLINOIS

By M. G. Huffman

It was my privilege to attend the late General Conference, and although I had attended quite a number of General Conferences, I can truthfully say that the last was by far the best one I ever attended. Surely, the Lord sent angels there to drive back the powers of darkness, and light came in, enabling His servants to see clearly His will in matters that were of a perplexing nature. I praise the Lord for the blessings I received while at the Conference. I left Battle Creek, April 25, to visit relatives and friends in Indiana, whom I had not seen for years. While in that State, I held meetings with the following churches: Middletown, Waldron, and Homer. We had good meetings, and enjoyed much of the Spirit of God. I was rejoiced to find so many still loving the truth. It was also my privilege to attend the general meeting held at Indianapolis, May 3-5, where we had another feast to our souls.

I left Indianapolis for Illinois, May 21. On my way to Willow Hill, I stopped at Kansas, where I met Elder Chas. Thompson, who had come to look up a location for a tent. We failed to find a suitable place, hence we went to Willow Hill. May 23, we started for Mount Erie to look up a location in that town. We found a beautiful little village with a thickly populated country around it, of well-to-do farmers. We have decided to pitch the tent there, and are preparing to begin meetings some time next week. We hope by God's help so to connect with Him that He can bless our efforts to the salvation of souls for whom Christ died. To this end we ask an interest in your prayers.
