MEETINGS IN KNOXVILLE, IOWA.
By Moses Hull
I COMMENCED meetings in the old court house in Knoxville, the first of March, and held over first-day. The Lord gave freedom in preaching the word. Our social meetings were also very good. On Monday night the new court house was opened for me. I gave three lectures in that. Notwithstanding Eld. Edwards, the "sailor preacher," the great Baptist revivalist, is holding meetings every day and night in Knoxville, our congregations were large. The house was well filled with attentive hearers every night. Some who have been the subjects of prayer for more than a year are now rejoicing in present truth. Their only wonder is that they did not see it before. Five were buried with their Lord in the ordinance of baptism. May the Lord make them a bright light in time to come. The church in Knoxville has learned by the things which it has suffered. I think it is now in the best condition that it has ever been, having been benefited by past experience. May the Lord preserve us unto his heavenly kingdom.
