Report from Bro. Ingraham.
By Wm. S. Ingraham
BRO. WHITE: I have just returned home from my appointment in Illinois. I visited Elmwood and Princeville. The church at Princeville is striving for the kingdom. The going was very bad and the weather rainy, but the attendance was quite good. This church longs to enjoy a visit from you and wife. In Elmwood the brethren have had some hard trials to pass through. Some that laid down their idols last summer when the tent was there had set them up again, Dagon-like. But after much plain talk they have sacrificed them once more. Artificials, hoops and tobacco, must not be put upon God's altar; for such sacrifices are an abomination unto him, and he says, Away with them, cast them to the moles and the bats. Some have been wild, and Satan has palmed off false visions upon them for genuine coin. How important for all to be shielded by God's holy word. We should have no confidence in a spirit that baptizes people out of the body, but in that spirit which leads us in harmony with the body. On my return I spent a Sabbath and first-day with the church at Clyde. I think this was the best meeting we ever had in this place. May the Lord prosper them. Yours in love of the truth.
