Laboring with the Lincoln Church in Missouri
By J. H. Cook
Since our last report we have been laboring with the Lincoln church, Johnson Co., Mo. We here found the brethren in perishing need of help; but although we tried to help them and the people at large, the truth appeared to fall powerless at our feet till the necessity of united and harmonious individual labor began to be impressed upon the brethren. As this burden began to be felt, the Lord came in and wrought for us. Many felt deeply and heartily confessed that they knew what they ought to do. Nine embraced the Sabbath, and seven of them united with the church. The brethren and the writer, who tried to labor for the Lord in their midst, felt much encouraged and strengthened to engage anew in this solemn work.
