Correction.
LABETTE, Nov. 18, 19. A general attendance is requested. J. N. AYERS, J. H. COOK.
MONMOUTH, Nov. 25, 26. J. H. COOK.
Appointment Taken Up.
The appointment for Ohio State quarterly meeting of the T. and M. Society, at Clyde, Nov. 18, 19, is taken up. No State quarterly meeting this time. The principal reason is that only about two directors could be present if the meeting were called; thus it would prove nearly, if not quite, a failure. Quarterly meeting in Dist. No. 4 will be held as appointed. H. A. St. John.
By request, I will meet with the church in Convis, Mich., Sabbath and first-day, Nov. 4 and 5. Meetings will commence Friday evening and close Sunday evening. The ordinances of the Lord’s house will be administered on the Sabbath. Brethren and sisters from surrounding churches are invited to be present. U. Smith.
I will meet with the church at Johnstown Centre, Wis., Nov. 11, 12. Let all the scattered ones make an effort to attend. H. W. Decker.
At Eureka, Kan., Nov. 11 and 12. There will be opportunity for baptism; and the ordinances will be celebrated. Come from a distance, and encourage this little company by your presence and testimonies. Smith Sharp.
The next quarterly meeting of the Ind. T. and M. Society of Dist. No. 2, will be held at the meeting-house of the Alto church, Sabbath and Sunday, Nov. 11 and 12, 1876. Eld. S. H. Lane is requested to attend. J. W. Covert, Sec.
Meetings commence in Bowling Green, Ohio, Thursday night, Nov. 2. At Norwalk, Wednesday night, Nov. 8. H. A. St. John.
Quarterly T. and M. meeting for Dist. No. 9, at Vassar, Mich., Nov. 4 and 5. We look for a general attendance. E. G. Doud, Director.
The T. and M. Society of Dist. No. 5, Ill., will hold a meeting at Eugene, Dec. 2 and 3. All the scattered brethren and sisters are cordially invited to attend. Let all come prepared to work. Can some minister be present? B. A. King, Director.
Providence permitting, Eld. Byington will meet the church at Hillsdale, Mich., Nov. 4 and 5. Let there be a general turnout. Baptism is expected. J. R. Stone.
Quarterly meeting of Dist. No. 1, Kansas T. and M. Society, will be held at Bro. N. P. Dixon’s (16 miles west of Cawker City), on the North Fork of the Solomon River, in Osborn Co., Kan., Nov. 25 and 26. Reuben Worick, Director.
Napoleon, Jackson Co., Mich., Nov. 11. I shall come prepared to remain for a time and hold meetings where Brn. Hatt or Miles may appoint. H. M. Kenyon.
General Meeting.
By James White
MICHIGAN TRACT AND MISSIONARY MEETING.
There will be a general Meeting of the Michigan Tract and Missionary Society at Battle Creek, Nov. 10-12. Elders Haskell and Canright are expected. At this meeting, matters important to the cause and to the Tract and Missionary work generally, and in Michigan in particular, will be considered.
We invite ministers in the State to meet with us as far as practical, and we shall be glad to see at this meeting the Presidents of the T. and M. Societies of other States as far as consistent. We design to leave for California immediately after this meeting and shall be glad to meet a large gathering. JAMES WHITE.
Receiving Baptism.
By R. F. C.
I would not be hypercritical, but I would prefer, since it is full as cheap, to say that certain ones were baptized, instead of saying they “received baptism.” In spurious baptism a little water is received by the candidate; but in genuine baptism the liquid grave receives the candidate. In the one, it is the water that is sprinkled or poured: in the other, it is the person himself that is immersed. The commission says, “baptizing them,” not baptizing water—upon them. R. F. C.
Confidence in God and Gentleness Toward Others
He who can look up to God with the most believing confidence, is sure to look most gently on his fellow-men; while he who shudders to lift his eye to heaven, often casts the haughtiest glances on the things of earth.
