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

From Bro. Saunders.

Bro. White: Thinking that the brethren who labored with us in the tent-meeting in this place last summer would like to hear the results of their labors, and knowing no easier way of access to them than through your paper, I take this opportunity to say that the labors of those brethren are highly esteemed by a goodly number in this place. We hold prayer and conference meeting on the Sabbath, and on fourth-day evening. The number attending the meetings is greater than we anticipated. There is a good state of feeling among us, and an apparent willingness to live out the teachings we have heard. Already we begin to hear desires expressed for a more full and thorough organization. We feel that there is a growth in grace and a further knowledge of the truth for us, and desire that the Lord would send his messengers this way once more to instruct us more thoroughly in the present truth.

It would gladden our hearts to meet with any of our brethren of like faith. Although we feel weak, we believe that the Lord is doing a good work among us by the convincing power of truth, for we have had to-day another instance of public acknowledgment and expressed determination to obey the fourth command.

Give us your prayers that we may be getting ready for the troubles that are coming upon the earth, also for the coming of the Lord.

Joel Saunders.
