A Growing Church at Lisbon
Bro. J. Dorcas writes from Tipton, Iowa, Dec. 5th: "My hope is still in the living God that made heaven and earth. I still hope and am undismayed. During the last few months, necessary cares and duties have pressed us down, so that we could not get far from home, either for our own, or the good of any one else. But thank God we have come to easier breathing, and are determined to be very active in all the duties of a living Christian. Last Sabbath we spent with the church at Lisbon, and are happy to say that with but little exception we found them manfully at their post; and best of all, in a growing and advancing state. O how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity. "It is over six years since we were first permitted to hear and understand "present truth," and I feel to praise God that we have not lost our interest, but that it has been growing. Our attachment to the Review and Herald Office during the past six years has become such as cannot be easily broken."
