Revival Blessings and Tent Meetings at Danvers
Bro. W. H. Edwards, Jr., writes from Danvers, Mass.:— We feel that the Spirit of our Master is still with us and striving with the unconverted. We have glorious times of refreshing in our meetings; and though we are without an elder a great part of the time, we are united, and the interest continues. Last Sunday evening, the 10th inst, we had a social meeting, and it was generally conceded to be the best that had been held in the church. We could hardly close the meeting although it had been in session about two hours. The following Tuesday evening in the regular prayer-meeting a similar spirit was exhibited. This Sabbath, Mar. 16, we have been highly favored. Eld. Wood, of Boston, gave us a stirring discourse on “Present Truth,” his text being 2 Peter 1: 12. We were all very much strengthened by it. He preaches to the point. At the close of his sermon, thirty or more of the brethren and sisters acknowledged the work of the Spirit in their hearts, and we had a blessed season. We think that God has been very good to us in Danvers, in influencing Eld. Canright to hold tent-meetings here, and proclaim the third angel’s message to us. We learn that there is a great desire manifested in the towns around here to listen to a course of lectures.
