Quarterly Meeting in Iowa.
By W. H. Brinkerhoff
BRO. WHITE: The Quarterly Meeting for the Lisbon district convened at Lisbon, Sept. 30. There was a goodly number from Marion and Fairview. The Lord blessed us, and we had a good and happy time. On first-day morning we repaired to the water's edge, where two were baptized. Two were added to the Lisbon church. The brethren seemed much strengthened, and expressed their firm determination to press on "till Jesus comes." My health is much better now than it has been for a long time, and I am trying again to hold up the glorious truths of God's holy word before the people. I see and feel the great necessity of living a godly life here, and shall ever try to help elevate these truths which we love so much. I am thankful that we have the "Testimony" in the church, and while reading volumes three and four, I was led to exclaim, Oh, how good the Lord is to us! I intend to profit by these things. W. H. BRINKERHOFF.
