Conference in Pilot Grove, Iowa.
By Wm. H. Brinkerhoff
BRO. WHITE: We have just passed through one of the best conferences ever held in Iowa. It was marked by union, love and a firm determination to live out the truth. The nice and commodious meeting-house of the brethren at Pilot Grove, was filled to overflowing. Deep solemnity rested upon the congregations. The Lord has truly blessed the labors of brethren Sanborn and Snook in Iowa. The brethren in this State now seem determined to move along with the body of Seventh-day Advent believers, and neither get ahead nor stay behind. This was the largest gathering of brethren ever seen in Iowa. And when we thought of the great gathering of God's dear people soon to take place, we all felt like shouting praises and hallelujahs to our God. But soon the parting time came and many eyes were dimmed with tears. The burden of preaching fell upon Bro. Sanborn; and the solemn testimonies which he gave were truly meat in due season. May the Lord bless Bro. S. abundantly.
