Cheering Words.

By Uriah Smith

THE Lord is blessing the labors of our brethren in different places to that degree that it will find mention even in their business letters. We take the liberty to give a few quotations from such.
Bro. Colcord writes from New Franklin, Ill.: “Good meetings here.”
Bro. Downer, from Galesville, Wis., says: “I have never seen so good meetings as we have had since I last wrote. The Lord has come very near unto us.”
Bro. H. W. Decker writes from Fish Creek, Wis.: “The Lord is doing a great work for the people in this place. Have been here about three weeks. Have had a crowded house all the time. Last Sabbath, Feb. 5, we had our first Sabbath meeting. At the close I called for all who had decided to keep the Sabbath to arise. Over thirty arose; among the number, all the leading men of the village. I never saw such an interest to hear in my life. The people were starving for the truth. The prospect is that a number more will take hold. I feel to give thanks to the Lord for this manifestation of his mercy. Man is weak, but God is mighty.” U. S.
