Church Meeting at Cleveland
By John Bostwick
Bro. White: Last Sabbath I spent with the church at Cleveland, Minn., and I trust the meeting was one of profit, as there appeared to be a coming up to the help of the Lord. One aged brother who gave up the use of tobacco some two years since, but had resumed the habit, thus becoming a stumbling-block to others, also setting a bad example to weaker brethren, confessed his wrong, and covenanted to do better. We were pleased to meet with brethren Odell and Johnson, who enlisted in the U. S. service some time since. They regret the steps they have taken, and it is their prayer almost day and night that they may be released from the service. Bro. Johnson expressed it as being in the "gall of bitterness." They earnestly requested our prayers. Our meeting was one of solemnity and tears. Notwithstanding the distraction that has existed in this church, there appeared to be honest souls inquiring for the truth.
