Note from Bro. Ingraham.
By William S. Ingraham
Bro. White: In time I met my appointment in Oakland and Lynxville. Our meeting at Oakland was very encouraging, and we all felt the importance of pressing together. I tarried here two days, and started for my next appointment. The church in Lynxville has been distracted and much discouraged by the numerous trials through which they have been called to pass. They have had many church trials, but the tinkering they have had has not had the effect to relieve them from the difficulty, but led to more confusion. My exhortation to them was to dwell less upon small difficulties, and all press together for the kingdom, but be sure to lay aside all their idols and filthy practices, that Satan might not hinder them. Some tokens of good were manifested. Truth and conviction seemed to fasten upon the people that came in to hear. I hope the church in this place will fully realize the necessity of struggling manfully for life.
