Quarterly Meeting at Pilot Grove, Iowa.
By Henry Nicola
Bro. WHITE; Our first quarterly meeting at Pilot Grove, has just closed. Quite a number of brethren and sisters came in from other churches. Three sisters came alone twenty miles through the snow and mud with an ox team. These sisters know how to appreciate the privilege of being at good meetings. We felt much disappointed in not meeting Brn. Snook and Brinkerhoof, but we tried to feel that all things work together for good to them that love God, and began to look up and claim the promise of our blessed Saviour that where two or three had met in his name, he would be in the midst. We had two meetings on the Sabbath, and a communion meeting evening after. This was one of the best meetings we ever enjoyed. We all felt that it was good to get humble enough to wash each other's feet. We feel to praise the Lord for what he is doing for us. This church is gradually on the rise. Less than two years ago it was organized with about 30 members. It now numbers about 55. Others are waiting an opportunity to be baptized; and still others are investigating. May the Lord help us all to seek for that holiness of heart and purity of character that will fit us for an inheritance in God's everlasting kingdom.
