JOHN MATTESON

By John Matteson

From Bro. Matteson.

Bro. WHITE: May 14 and 15, we met with Bro. Sanborn according to agreement, and I for one can say that I rejoiced at this meeting. Bro. Sanborn is toiling for the good cause, and we hope to meet him at the end of our journey in the paradise of God. Bro. S. was called away from us so suddenly that he could not join with us in the celebration of the ordinances.
Two weeks afterwards we convened for this purpose. The brethren and sisters had never attended the washing of feet, and some fear was entertained that this would not do. But when the example of our blessed Master was held up, all went forward to follow the Lord. Jesus was in our midst, and we had a refreshing season. All hearts were melted, and new determinations were formed to press on to the everlasting kingdom. One was added to our number. We have organized s. B. which amounts to $59.
We want to move in harmony with the body and to join our State association at the first opportunity. It is our desire to go with the remnant of God's people to mount Zion, and to give all the praise to the Lamb of God in his glorious kingdom, forever.
