Meetings and Additions in Knoxville
Bro. H. C. Whitney writes from Knoxville, Iowa, Jan., 1860: "Bro. Hull commenced meetings in our city on Wednesday evening and continued over the Sabbath. The Lord was with us. Some of the brethren were with us from Pleasantville, and seemed to be greatly encouraged. We meet with much opposition, but may the Lord give us all grace sufficient for our day. I feel determined by the grace of God to keep all^1 his commandments that I may inherit the goodly land; for I realize that the promises are only to the faithful, and what shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his soul?" "The brethren of this place are becoming very strongly united, and we have good meetings. O may the Lord keep us in the work until the day of his coming, which I believe is near at hand. On the Sabbath we had two additions to the church."
