Monthly Meeting in Genoa.

According to appointment through the REVIEW, the S. D. A. church of Genoa met in quarterly meeting, Sabbath, Oct. 1. Bro Byington was with us, and spoke with freedom from James 2:18, on faith and works, and his remarks were well adapted to the circumstances. Six joined with us, and one was baptized, after which we engaged in the solemn ordinances that our Saviour instituted on the night of his betrayal, and the Comforter was with us to bless, for which we praise the Saviour’s name. In the evening we held a very solemn social meeting. Sinners made a start to serve God. Brethren and sisters seemed willing to consecrate all to the Lord, and get ready for the soon coming of our Saviour. Eleven have joined with us within the last quarter, nine by baptism.
First-day morning, Bro. Byington spoke on the subject of the Judgment. In the evening we took him three miles, and he spoke to a house full of eager listeners from Rev. 22:14, 15. Earnestly pray, brethren and sisters, that the searching truth be presented may be like bread cast on the waters, which may be found after many days. Also, that such may be added to us as shall be saved. ALEX. CARPENTER.
Genoa, Oct. 6, 1870.
