MEETINGS AT BATTLE CREEK.
By James White
The Conference, Apr. 28th and 29th, was a meeting of interest to God’s people. But few came in from abroad, yet there were as many present as could be well convened for social meetings in a private house. Social meetings were spirited and excellent, and the word preached had free course, and confirmed the souls of the disciples, and convicted others. Here we parted with our beloved Bro. Hall of Wisconsin, and his companion, who returns to his field of labor in that State. The brethren in Battle Creek and vicinity are generally awake to the wants of the cause, and are anxious to establish the REVIEW OFFICE in that place. They are able and willing to do so, and manifest much anxiety to relieve us of those cares and responsibilities which we have too long borne. The climate, water, prices of rent, fuel, provisions, &c., seem favorable to the location. We remained with the church in Battle Creek over Sabbath, May 5th. It was expected by all that there would be preaching. In this we were disappointed, although there were three present who preach constantly. The Lord took the lead of the meeting in an especial manner, and manifested his power and goodness in our midst. The saints were filled with joy and gratitude to God for the encouragement and instruction given at this meeting.
