Pastor Wilcox’s Eastern Meetings
By Editor
Pastor M. C. Wilcox, our senior editor, is still in the East, attending general meetings. He has attended camp-meetings at Kokomo, Indiana; Bay City, Michigan; Washington, Pennsylvania; and Utica, New York; also meeting with various churches in other parts of the latter state. He writes that many good meetings have been held. He has had charge of as many as five services a day, which has been quite wearing physically, but the Lord has greatly blessed. Many requests for prayer have been made, and God heard and answered. At the various revival services, many went forward and obtained a blessing. On several occasions nearly the whole congregation and the choir as a body pressed forward, and many victories were gained. At Utica the rain promised to break up the Sabbath meeting. An experience was related in which the Lord stayed the wind in answer to prayer at a distant camp-meeting; and the situation was laid upon Him whose "Peace, be still," is as efficacious as ever. The rain held off, and a blessed Sabbath day, rich with God's blessing, was experienced. In visiting the scenes of his former labors, he also writes that he meets some old friends, but misses many familiar faces, which makes him feel almost like "the last leaf on the tree in the spring." "But," he adds, "we will look to Him who is able to give more abundant life. 'They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength.'"
