DICKINSON CO., IOWA.

By F. W. Morse

The monthly meeting at Milford was well attended, though the weather was quite stormy. The best of all was, every one came bringing a spirit of earnest work. Not a single case of silence in the social meetings. How I wish some older companies of Sabbath-keepers could just come in and be “provoked,” by the earnest, loving activity of these dear friends, to “go and do likewise.” One young person for whom we had felt a deep interest took a decided stand with us.

I have just called upon all of them. I find the whole secret of a good meeting. At their homes I see faithfulness. Large and small join at the family altar, and Sabbath-school and Sabbath meetings are promptly kept up at home, if they are not able to get together. As might be expected, I can see growth in grace. O dear brethren, may God help us to put aside the driving, crowding pressure of the world, and take time and calm, solemn thought in serving God and preparing for the Judgment.
