Report from Bro. Snook.
By B. F. Snook
It has been some time since I have made any report; and lest the brethren should think that I am getting weary in well-doing, I will write again. I spent Sept. 27 and 28 with the brethren at La Porte. Our meetings were well attended, and the Lord was with us in giving pointed testimony against the evils practiced by many in the church. They will profit by our visit, I hope. The church adopted the plan of systematic benevolence. I spent Oct. 3-4 with the brethren at Fairview. We were disappointed in not meeting as many brethren as we expected, but had a good meeting. The church there is unitedly striving to overcome. We baptized one. Sabbath, the 10th inst., I preached to the brethren in Marion, at our home. Our little church is still striving to go through to the kingdom. Tuesday, the 14th, I preached to the brethren at Lisbon. This little flock, though fleeced and bled almost to death, are not discouraged, neither cast down, but are determined to go through with the people of God. Among our brethren in this part of the State there is now entire unity. We all desire to move with the body, and not be left behind. I am now at home, under affliction, but hope to be able to go out soon. I feel that "Whether many or few,
All my years are his due,
They shall all be devoted to him."
The way has been closed up in this State for labor outside of the churches, but now I think the way is open. I am truly happy to learn that Bro. Cornell is coming back to Iowa. May the Lord bless and give him a prosperous tour. May the Lord continue the Leader of this people, is my prayer.
