Clyde Quarterly Meeting.
By G. W. Colcord, Clerk
According to appointment, the Quarterly Meeting of the Seventh-Day Adventists of Clyde, Whiteside Co. Ill., was held in the new house of worship, March 28 and 29. In accordance with a special request, Bro. B. F. Snook attended the aforesaid meeting, from its commencement, to its close. This was the second meeting of the kind, for 1864, and both have been very agreeable, and profitable. This, like the other, was well attended. The Brn. (or a part, at least) from Elk Horn met with us, and took part in, and shared the blessings of this series of gatherings. Sabbath A. M. Eld. Snook delivered a discourse on the subject of the kingdom, and the necessary preparation for an entrance into the same. The P. M. sermon was on the second advent. At the close of the Sabbath we enjoyed a communion season. Sunday morning 9 o'clock social meeting. 10½ A. M. sermon on the three messages. P. M., sermon on the seven seals. Sunday and Monday evenings, there were stirring truths brought out before the people. At the close of the sermon on Monday evening, Bro. R. F. Andrews took an expression of the people, for the purpose of determining who, and how many, believed the sacred truths we had heard, and were willing to try to live them out in their lives. Three, stood up for the first time, as witnesses that they would try to go with God's people to the kingdom. Oh that they, and many others may live out their convictions. The church at Clyde is in a thriving condition.
