By L. G. Bostwick

From Bro. Bostwick.

BRO. WHITE: Since our conference, I have attended the Quarterly Meeting at Oakland, and have also attended my appointments. The Quarterly Meeting at Oakland was good. We enjoyed much of the Spirit of God. These dear brethren are trying to let their light shine; and the Lord is blessing them. When I arrived home, I learned for the first time that I was drafted. I at once reported at the Provost Marshall's office, and received a furlough. I then started on to fill my appointments. I found the brethren at Kickapoo in a divided state, and in trial one with another. I endeavored to depict before them the solemn times in which we live, and show them the importance of pressing together and laying aside their little difficulties. The Lord was with us, and the brethren began to confess their wrongs; and in a little while every thing was made right. Those that were using tobacco laid it aside. Two were added to the church; and we had truly the best of the wine at the last of the feast. We left these dear brethren encouraged to press on toward the prize.

Nov. 5, according to appointment, I met with the brethren at Durand, and am still holding meetings with them. The Lord has been with us to some degree. On first-day one was baptized and added to the church; and we feel that the good work of the Lord is onward. Here seems to be a good field for labor. My prayer is, that God will speed on the work.
