Blessings at Oronoco Church
By James White
DEAR BRO. WHITE: We are still trying to serve God by keeping his commandments and doing those things that he has told us in his blessed word. Although separated from those of the same faith, our hope is strong in the Lord, for his promise is sure, and that is eternal life. I am now returned from Oronoco, where I spent a happy Sabbath with the church. The Lord blessed us with his Spirit. Bro. Harlow spoke to us, and encouraged us to press on to the kingdom. In the afternoon three went down into the water, and rose to newness of life, praising God. In the evening we met at the house of Bro. Odell, where we thanked the Lord for permitting us to celebrate the ordinances of his house. It was the first time in three years that I have had an opportunity of attending the ordinances of washing of feet, and partaking of the broken emblems of the body and blood of our Saviour. This blessed privilege of meeting with those of the same faith I enjoyed as a blessing from the Lord. I find that I have received a portion of meat to strengthen me, and am amply rewarded for traveling ninety miles to and from this meeting. May God in his infinite goodness bless and protect this young church from all the wiles of the enemy, is my prayer.
