The Christian Index 
I do not often trouble the Index man, or any one else with my poor little acts 
and doings; but, at the request of the brethren, send you a brief statement of 
our Fort Gaines meeting.  We commenced our meeting on Saturday night before the 
first Sabbath in this month, and for several days we were, as usual, 
alternating between hope of success and fear of failure.  At length, however, 
we discovered the evident signs of the Spirit's presence among the people.  Our 
congregations had become prompt and regular, night and day, and the people were 
orderly, attentive and solemn.  The good work was now fully under way in the 
church, and the people of the world felt its power.  We received thirteen by 
experience and baptism, and left quite a number of others, as we thought, very 
near the kingdom.  This was, taken all together, one of the best meetings that 
I have attended for years.  Sometimes I have thought that the members in a 
church were increased without any perceptible increase of moral strength -- not 
so in this instance.  I had no ministerial help in the meeting; but when a 
little revived, this is one of the best little churches I have ever known.  A 
number of the members are talented, active, and sound in the faith.  Their 
liberality, too, abounds in the glory of Christ. 
J. H. Corley.
Dawson, Ga., June 25th, 1872.
