T. & M. Quarterly Meeting at Caloma, Iowa.
By Alfred McNeill
ACCORDING to appointment in the REVIEW, the quarterly meeting for Dist. No. 5, Iowa and Neb. T. & M. Society was held at Caloma, Aug. 21, 22. All our churches were liberally represented, and, notwithstanding the discouragements some of our brethren have felt in regard to attending these meetings, all felt that this had been a profitable occasion, and that they were amply repaid for taking the trouble to attend. On Sabbath, Bro. J. H. Morrison gave us two good discourses. In the forenoon, the house was crowded to its utmost capacity with attentive hearers, many of our neighbors being present. Text, Jer. 4: 3. We look forward here to better times, as we feel the need of breaking up the fallow ground of our hearts and getting into a place where the blessing of the Lord can at all times rest upon us. At this meeting it was decided to hold monthly meetings at Knoxville, Sandyville, Monroe, and Caloma, alternately; and that a committee be appointed each month to conduct the meetings. We believe these meetings will prove beneficial to us if we come with the love of God in our hearts, fully resolved to do our whole duty in the fear of the Lord. Brethren, let us pray that the blessing of God may attend us at our next meeting, to be held at Sandyville the first Sabbath in October. ALFRED McNEILL.
