AMONG THE CHURCHES IN NEVADA.
By William Ings
In company with Brother Shannon I visited all the companies of Sabbath keepers in Nevada. It was a pleasure to visit the old friends once more and make new acquaintances of those who have lately embraced the truth. We spent some days with the friends at Reno, Carson, Dayton, and St. Clair, and held two meetings at Virginia City. We endeavored to impress upon the minds of the people the importance of living holy lives in order to be fitted not only for Heaven, but to prove a blessing to others. As we unitedly drew nigh unto God, we realized his promise that he would draw nigh unto us. Confessions were made, hearts were united, backsliders were reclaimed, and all were benefited. The missionary work had our attention, and all heartily indorsed the new method of uniting the prayer and missionary meeting, and mailing the papers the same evening. All could see readily the importance of sending out our "able minister" fresh from the press. Eighty-six copies of the SIGNS were added to the list, and fifty-two missionary boxes were gladly taken, in which to deposit their offerings each first day as God prospers them. Brother Shannon was a good help to me, and we spent over one month together with profit to each other, and left all that we visited much encouraged; and if the vows are kept that were made, and witnessed by the Spirit of God, we shall expect to see an advance movement of the cause of truth in Nevada.
