The Church on the Onward March
By Lewis Bean
Bro. WHITE : I would say for the encouragement of those interested in the great and glorious work of the third message, that the little church here in Troy and Potten are on the onward march for the everlasting inheritance. I can say that I think the church here is on the rise. There is an increase of union among us, and also with the whole body. We held our first quarterly meeting on the 31st of October and the 1st of November. The Spirit of the Lord was with us from the commencement to the close. The ordinances of the Lord's house were attended to. Many of the church participated for the first time. It was a season of rejoicing, also of humbling ourselves before the Lord. One was added to the church. I would here say that we are in harmony and union with those at the head of the work, and while we see the perils thickening and the time of trouble nearing, our prayer is, Lord, spare thy people, and bring us safely through to mount Zion.
