THE OHIO CONFERENCE

By Jos. Clarke

Was held with the church at Lovett's Grove, May 31st and June 1st. The conference was well attended. Most of the churches were represented. Bro. and Sr. White and Bro. and Sr. Cornell were present. On Sabbath Bro. White gave, in the forenoon, a discourse upon the lukewarm state of the church; and in the afternoon he preached upon Bible sanctification. On first-day he gave, in the forenoon, a discourse upon conversion; in the afternoon he gave a lucid exposition of the xxivth of Matt. The good Spirit was present and gave force to the truth, and the church was strengthened.
Bro. White had freedom in presenting the truth. Sister White gave in her testimony with power. Many hearts softened down at her recital of Jesus' sufferings and cruel death; many were encouraged and strengthened; many were prompted to renewed diligence and watchfulness by her exhortations.
At the social meeting on Sunday morning, much freedom was manifested by the church in exhortation, and many short, pointed testimonies were borne to the truth, and an evident increase of interest was manifested, and a general desire to get in such a position that we might attain to the favor of God.
