Report from Bro. Snook.

By B. F. Snook

BRO. WHITE: I write again to inform you of my labors in this good cause, knowing that you are always glad to hear of our success.
March 4–6, I held meetings with the church in Fairview. Our audiences were good considering the circumstances. The brethren were much comforted and edified by the preaching of the blessed word. We had a good meeting. These brethren realize to some extent that we are not to go to the kingdom without trials; but the Lord has been with them so far, and I trust will be unto the end.
The 25th–27th inst. I spent with the brethren at Palestine. We were truly happy to see each other. I was rejoiced to learn that they are holding on to the faith. We had very good meetings, but not large congregations, as the going was very bad. There are many in this community who desire yet to hear, and we still hope that good may be done, and others embrace the truth.
April 1–4, I spent with the brethren composing the Pilot Grove quarterly meeting. There was not so general a turn-out as before, but very good considering the bad going. This was truly a joyful meeting to us all. The many tearful eyes did but testify to the out-gushing of the love of God shed abroad in the heart.
On Monday we baptized four. The cause is still onward to victory here, and the Lord is helping his people to live out the truth and the result is, souls are gathering and preparing for the coming of Christ.
Iowa is now a good field for labor. Our churches are trying to arise with the message. A visit from Bro. and sister White to our churches would do vast good, and such a visit is universally desired by us all.
I am now at home, awaiting better going, as it is not practicable to travel with one horse now. I feel very anxious to be engaged in this good work, and feel that
“Whether many or few, All my days are his due. They shall all be devoted to him.”
My prayer is that God may bless us all and save us when Jesus comes.
B. F. SNOOK.
