Meetings in Southern Iowa.
By D. M. Carright
IN the providence of God a goodly number of churches have been raised up in this section of the State, more or less connected together, so much so that they can, with a little effort, meet together in monthly or quarterly meetings. We think that there has not been enough interest taken in this matter, and that the time has come for us to wake up and take hold of the matter in earnest. To begin with, we have appointed a general meeting to be held at Monroe, Oct. 28-30. We do earnestly hope to see a general turnout of all the friends of the cause for a good many miles around. Such a meeting is much needed here. We cannot spend time to visit each church only once in a long time; hence, when they have the opportunity of such a meeting they should not fail to be there. We can preach to two hundred as well as to twenty; so come along, and bring your unconverted children and friends. At this meeting we wish to arrange for our winter labors; hence we want to know where the most urgent fields are. Bring plenty of blankets, as the weather may be cold. Ample provision will be made for teams, and all who may come. We shall have a full assortment of books. Pray God to bless this effort. Do not be late Sabbath evening, nor calculate to leave till Monday. D. M. CARRIGHT.
