Meetings at Plainfield
By Frederick Wheeler
Bro. SMITH: I improve this opportunity, to say that I spent the last Sabbath with the little church in this place. The Lord was pleased to meet with us by his Holy Spirit to comfort and encourage our hearts. There seemed to be a desire among the little company to get deeper into the work of the Lord, to get lower in the vale of humility, that God might exalt them in due time. Evening after the Sabbath, and First-day, I held meetings in Plainfield, in a neighborhood where the present truth had never been presented. The congregations were not large; but good attention was given to the word spoken; and it appeared evident that the truth was making impression on the minds of some. I have an appointment at the same place this evening, and hope that some jewels may be gathered out from among the rubbish. I feel encouraged to labor on in this cause, expecting soon to witness the mighty effect of the loud voice of the Third Angel. O Lord arouse thy people and hasten on the time is my prayer. Yours for the truth. F. WHEELER.
