Report from Bro. Ingraham.
By Wm. S. Ingraham
BRO. WHITE: In my first report of meetings in Iowa, I closed with our meeting at Pilot Grove. My next appointment was at Palestine. Our meeting commenced on Wednesday evening, and continued until Sunday evening. This effort was not in vain. The church was much revived and the people generally interested. From this place I went to Lisbon. Commenced meeting Friday evening, and spent Sabbath and Sunday in this place. I was glad to see Bro. Steward on this occasion. Being on a visit to Lyons he came to our meeting and aided much in preaching the word. We found a sad state of things in this church. The Devil was reviving his work through some of his agents, and they were determined to destroy what they once tried to build up. We found some of the brethren standing firm for the cause of truth. Nov. 24, commenced labors in Marion. Preached five times and had excellent liberty. The Lord was pleased to give me perfect victory over the elements that were at work against his precious cause. Next we went to Fairview. This meeting was well attended. There were brethren present from Pilot Grove, Lisbon, and Marion. The meeting was one of victory and glorious triumph. The word spoken had good effect. Our social meetings were spirited and good. It did me good to see the saints swing around into line of battle and come down with their testimonies on the spirit of rebellion. Especially were we cheered to hear Bro. Carver declare that the ark of God had not departed from us, and that he had no confidence in a rebellious spirit. I hope the saints in Iowa will press together.
