Church Growth in Richmond, Iowa
Sister Ranny writes from Richmond, Iowa: "I write a few lines to express my love for the cause of truth for the first time. I am very thankful for the privilege of hearing from the brethren and sisters through the Review, as they speak to us of their hopes of eternal life. I would just say to the brethren and sisters scattered abroad that we meet every Sabbath to renew our strength in the Lord. We are assailed on every hand here, yet the church is getting upon higher ground, and some are coming out on the truth. We lately had a visit from Solomon Miller (brother to Wm. Miller), and he came out and confessed the truth on Sabbath while he was here. He has now gone back to the State of New York where he resides, a believer in the third angel's message. The church here and in Dayton have adopted the plan of Systematic Benevolence. May the Lord speed this good work, is my prayer."
