Meetings at Lynxville and Mauston
By L. G. Bostwick
BRO. WHITE: I was with the Church at Lynxville, Wis., Sept. 10, and 11, it being the Quarterly Meeting of the Lynxville and Kickapoo Churches. This was a good meeting and the Lord was with us. We tried to show them the importance of living out these solemn truths by example as well as by words. We hope that they will feel the importance of pressing together for the prize. According to request I met once more with the brethren and sisters at Mauston, Sep. 16, and continued the meetings till the 21st. We were disappointed in not meeting Bro. Steward at this meeting. But the Lord was with us once more. Sabbath morning, in our prayer-meeting over forty testimonies were givin in less than fifty minutes. This was a happy place; and our hearts were made to rejoice. After our meeting, first-day afternoon, three made up their mind to be baptized, and the ordinance was administered by Bro. Russell. After this, the ordinances of the Lord's house were attended to in which about fifty engaged. Before this meeting closed three others made up their minds to be baptized. This was truly a profitable meeting; and we hope that this church will go on in the strait, and narrow way, and lead those little lambs that have united with them, to the Kingdom. At this meeting six were baptized and eight united with the church. If this church lives right we think that before long, others will unite with them. Brethren and sisters, let us arise and put on the whole armor of God, and press on together toward the mark, for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus, so that we may be ready for the loud cry of the third angel's message, which we see is on the rise. Pray for me that I may be found living humble and doing what I can for the advancement of the cause of God. Yours in love of the blessed truths of the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. Mauston, Wis., Sept. 22, 1864.
