Galesville, Wis.

By D. Downer

Since my last report, I have attended the quarterly meeting at Monroe. Our meeting there was characterized by solemnity. I believe I have never more enjoyed a quarterly meeting than I did this one with them. May the Lord help them to redeem the pledges made while there. I then attended our general meeting at Burns, Wis. We all enjoyed the meeting, and promised the Lord to live more humble lives in future. The weather being stormy, our meetings were thinly attended. We hope for better days for the little company at Burns.

I have been taking some rest for two weeks, or rather physical exercise, which is certainly improving my health.

Let us one and all press on, and by our humble walk and works of kindness and love, show to a scoffing world that we believe our faith to be true; not drifting into the fashions of the world, which are ruinous to our prosperity as Christians. Let us remember that, prepared or unprepared, the terrible day of reckoning will soon come. Then who of us will be able to stand.

D. DOWNER.
