MISSOURI

By J. G. Wood

Green Ridge and Rockville.

Dec. 28, 29, we were at Green Ridge, where we held a tent-meeting last fall. One had given up the Sabbath; the rest seemed to be growing stronger in the truth. They were encouraged by our visit. Each family takes the REVIEW, and all greatly prize its valuable instruction. The weather was so cold that some living at a distance could not attend our last meeting, so we did not instruct them on S. B., as we had intended. However, a card from there dated Jan. 1, says that they observed the fast and pledged $27 on S. B. May the Lord bless them in well doing.

On New Year's day we met at Rockville. Some made a commendable effort to attend this meeting, and we trust they were benefited by it. Others living near made no effort to attend, but we hear of them at the house of mirth and feasting. We advise all such to read and carefully consider Eccl. 7:2–4; James 4:5–10. May we all humble ourselves in the sight of the Lord, and be of one heart and one mind, serving the Lord. J. G. Wood.
