LETTERS.

By Joseph Bates

"Then they that feared the Lord, spake often one to another."

From Bro. Bates.

BRO. WHITE: Our monthly Conference in Allegan, Allegan, Co., was an interesting and solemn meeting. The testimonies in the social meeting were feeling and pointed. Two from Monterey expressed their desire to go with us to Mount Zion. This was encouraging, and we receive it as an additional token of the manifest desire of God our heavenly Father to bless and strengthen all that are striving for a more perfect union in this great work. Their testimonies embraced but a few broken sentences, yet it caused a deep sensation to pervade our entire meeting. When we were parting after the communion of the Lord's supper, some said, We have had a good meeting hav'nt we? Yes, was the response from others, this was the best meeting we have had. We thank God for the sweet influence of his Holy Spirit, to quicken his people.
The next monthly meeting was appointed to be held in Monterey on the second Sabbath in November.
On first-day following we attended the funeral of a child at Otsego. The methodist Meeting-house was opened for us on this occasion, which gave us the privilege of addressing many people on some points of present truth that seldom go out to hear preaching on any other occasion.
