District No. 13 Michigan Tract Society Quarterly Meeting
By Wm. H. Mills
DIST. NO. 13, MICHIGAN TRACT SOCIETY.
The time for our district quarterly meeting is drawing near; and shall it find us ready, as we meet our brethren and sisters, to testify of the goodness of God during the past quarter, and to ask his continued blessing on the incoming one? These meetings should be precious seasons to the people of God. They are golden opportunities. We meet in our several places of worship week by week, and feel that we are edified. But there is a pleasure in seeing new faces and in hearing new voices. The people of God should be social. They should seek to become thoroughly united, and to encourage one another in the good work. The two days we thus spend together should be well improved. We should work for the good of others, and should seek to prepare ourselves for future usefulness. The truth is going far and wide; and many are the cheering omens received by the different workers in the great “harvest field,” that their labor is not in vain. Truly the Lord is with his people; and he will lead them to a glorious victory. Brethren and sisters, shall we place our shoulders to the wheel, and engage, heart and hand, in this, the noblest of all works? Let us obey the injunction given in Mal. 3:16, 17, to speak often one to another; and while we try to encourage those in our own immediate circle, let us not forget those of other churches. Shall we see you at our quarterly meeting? Shall we take you by the hand and bid you “God speed” in the work that is before us? I hope so. Come, and may the Spirit of the Lord come with you.
