REYNOLDS, GA.

By C. O. Taylor

The first general meeting of those in Georgia who keep all the commandments of God, has just closed. One was present from Houston, one from Bibb, and two from Spaulding county. The meeting was one of interest from the beginning on Friday evening to its close on Sunday evening. All hearts were filled with gratitude to God for his great goodness; all were ready to do duty. The meeting gave a new impetus to the cause of truth in this State. They cheerfully entered into the plan of paying S. B., and all pledged according to their ability. Of course “the all” was not large; for there were but few to give. The T. and M. work was considered.

The outside interest was quite good. Some women walked four or five miles to attend the meeting. The people of the village attended well, some of the most prominent not missing a meeting. The last evening our hall was well filled, notwithstanding there was a Methodist quarterly meeting at the same time.

I was much gratified with the zeal and steadfastness manifested by our brethren. Their experience has been very rich. God has wonderfully sustained them amid much opposition. At this meeting there was a knitting of hearts in love for God, for his truth, and for one another, and each seemed anxious to work till the Master comes.
