A Better State of Feeling

From Bro. Folsom.

Bro. Smith: I would say, by way of encouragement, that there is a better state of feeling with the brethren here in the East, and the general impression is that the Lord is about to work for the salvation of his people. We had a powerful meeting last Sabbath. We have not had such a time of the outpouring of the Spirit for many months.

We feel very thankful to the Lord for every token or sign of his moving hand among us here, as we have sometimes almost felt that we were forsaken of him. But there is a sound of abundance of rain; and we wait for its fall upon us, hoping that each of us may have our cups right side up to receive the refreshing.

Paul Folsom.
