From Bro. Jordon.

BRO. WHITE: The church here at Hundred Mile Grove are striving, by the assisting grace of God, to overcome, that we may be found among those who have the seal of the living God in their foreheads, and who shall stand on mount Zion with the Lamb. Though there seems to be a few in this church that have a form of godliness without the power, yet, as a church, there is a mourning and pleading with God for a fresh and individual experience in the things of God, and for that gold which has been tried in the fire.

The labor which Eld. Sanborn bestowed upon this church last November, has, by the blessing of the Lord, been very fruitful. We have increased in numbers, and in spiritual strength since that time. The four days which were set apart for fasting and prayer as appointed in Review, were days of special interest to us. The Lord blessed us with his holy Spirit. There was an increasing interest and feeling in our meetings from the first day to the last. All who took part in those meetings were blessed of the Lord.

When we realize that God is about to cut short his work in righteousness on the earth, we feel to mourn and weep for our sins and for the abominations that are done in the land. Oh, may we as a people humble ourselves under the mighty hand of God throughout the land that we may soon be prepared to give the loud cry of the third message.

Yours in hope.
