Sabbath, Nov. 2.

The church in Battle Creek were favored this day with two discourses, one from Bro. Loughborough and one from Bro. Waggoner. As these brethren were to leave the present week, to be absent for a length of time, and perhaps never to return, the church wished to hear from them both. Bro. L. spoke in the forenoon on the words of Christ, Matt. 26:42, “Thy will be done,” and Bro. W. in the afternoon, on 2 Pet. 1:10: “Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure; for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall.” Both, in their discourses, fulfilled the Scriptural injunction to feed the flock. What made their words especially impressive was the thought that these brethren will soon, in the expected course of events, be six thousand miles apart in their different fields of labor. Bro. Waggoner goes direct to the Pacific coast, and Bro. Loughborough and wife, after holding a few meetings in the State of New York and in New England, will proceed on their way to England.
