Note from Bro. Clarke.

By Joseph Clarke

BRO. WHITE : The meeting at Gilboa, Aug. 8, 9, was very good. There is an increasing interest felt in these meetings, in which all have opportunity to give in their testimony. The fact is, the church must work if she would live; and the work of making a meeting interesting and profitable, has been considered here as belonging to the ministry, almost wholly so. But when the church gets into a position where she can send her ministry into the field, and having developed within herself such gifts as the apostle enumerates for the edification and strengthening of its members, then may we look for prosperity.

Then when the body is perfected, all will move in harmony, and with power. May such a time not be far distant, when Satan will be wholly shut out of our hearts and assemblies.
