The Iowa Conference.

By B. F. Snook

THE business of the Iowa Conference passed off most happily, and next came on the season of public worship. At the appointed hour the house was filled with persons anxiously desiring to hear the truth. Several deeply-interesting sermons were preached to large congregations, all eager to catch every word that was said. Our social meeting on Sabbath was one of the best. The Lord was present in great love and power. We were highly delighted and made to rejoice ou hearing the brethren give their experience in connection with the truth.
Bro. Cook and Bro. Jacob Hare, both late from the Methodists, interested us with a rehearsal of what the Lord had done for them in showing them the truth.
Our aged and venerable father in Israel, E. P. Butler, made us all glad and to cry with joy, on hearing his experience in connection with this work. Oh how good it is to sit at the feet of these fathers and receive good lessons of simple practical, old-fashioned Bible truth. May God bless Bro. Butler and spare him to attend more Conferences yet. We had truly a seat in heavenly places. All renewed their covenants to go on together with the remnant to Mount Zion. The good cause is truly onward to victory in Iowa and may the Lord enable all to do our duty that his blessings may be continued to us. The brethren and sisters of Pilot Grove did a noble part in bearing the burden of the Conference. May they have a bright reward for their kindness to us.
