Meeting at Memphis

By I. W. Barker

From Bro. Barker.

Bro. White: We have had one of the best meetings in Memphis that I ever attended. Brn. Andrews and Loughborough came here the 13th, and remained with us over Sabbath and first-day, and gave seven lectures. We had a good attendance during the meetings. The Spirit of the Lord was with us, and we were made to rejoice in the hope of soon seeing Jesus coming to take his children home. First-day p. m., Bro. Loughborough spoke on the inheritance of the saints. There was a deep solemnity rested upon the people. The sinner was warned of his danger, and entreated to come to the Saviour; the saints were made to rejoice in the glorious prospect before them. I returned home resolved that I would say no more about my light afflictions, which are but for a moment; but I for one would pray more earnestly to God, that I might be kept humble at his feet, that when he comes I may have it said to me, Well done, good and faithful servant, enter thou into the joy of thy Lord.

Yours in hope of eternal life.

I. W. Barker.
