Mackford Conference and Renewed Strength
By W. Phelps
BRO. SMITH: I attended the conference at Mackford. There was a very good attendance of brethren from different parts of the State. The spirit of the Lord seemed to be in the midst. Nearly all seemed to feel the importance of rising with the message and making an entire consecration to God. The privilege of meeting the dear saints at that meeting has been a great blessing to me. My health has been poor all winter, and I went to meeting feeling feeble and depressed in spirits; but the Lord is a present help in time of need. In answer to the prayers of dear brethren and sisters, I feel much strengthened in body, and revived in spirits. My health is rapidly improving. I feel that I shall be able soon to be in the field again. I want to move in harmony with the third angel's message. I want to go through with the remnant and stand among them on mount Zion. O how I long for that country where the inhabitants will not have to say, I am sick, where saints shall be immortal, and to which the ransomed of the Lord shall return and come with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads. They shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away. Isa. xxxv, 10; Rev. xxi, 4. Ft. Atkinson, Wis. W. PHELPS;
