NEWPORT, N. H.

By M. Wood

SABBATH and first-day, Nov. 24 and 25, were days not soon to be forgotten by the Newport church. It has seldom, if ever, been our privilege to attend a series of meetings where the brethren and sisters enjoyed such freedom in prayer and exhortation as at the place above mentioned. The sweet, tender, melting influence of the Spirit of Jesus was in our midst, and affected the hearts of all present. It was good to be there. Tears were freely shed, and confessions were made which had a most salutary effect upon the meeting. Resolutions were formed, which, if practically carried out, will greatly forward the work of God in this Conference the coming year.

At this meeting, one brother started anew in the service of the Master, intending to identify himself more fully with the harvesters of the Lord. May God give sustaining grace and lead him by his Spirit in the path of duty. Another interesting case was that of a sister who came eight miles over the mountains to attend this meeting, and fully identified herself with S. D. Adventists. To God be all the praise. M. Wood.
