Our Protracted Meeting.

THIS meeting commenced in the evening of Dec. 23d, and continued the evenings of the 24th, 25th, 26th, and over the Sabbath. The interest in this meeting by the brethren and sisters, and their children, was great. The entire Sabbath School was moved.
After a little rest, the meetings commenced again the evening of the 31st. At this point we were happy to be joined by Brn. Byington and Loughborough who had just returned from their Northern Tour, rejoicing in the good work they had witnessed among the youth and children at nearly every appointment. We shall be glad to give a full account from them. They labored with us two evenings, then left for the quarterly meeting at Parkville. May God give these true yoke-fellows success everywhere.
Several brethren came in from other places to enjoy this meeting with us, and the evening commencing the Sabbath we had a full and deeply interesting meeting. Many of the young spoke, among them the eldest son of Eld. J. H. Waggoner, whose confession and stated resolutions to be a Christian, caused tears of joy to flow.
On the Sabbath our place of worship was full. We baptized fifteen, among them our two oldest sons. In the afternoon we had a communion season, in which not far from two hundred participated. We think the Battle Creek church never enjoyed a better Sabbath.
