Quarterly Meeting at Carlton, N. Y.
By R. F. Cottrell
THIS meeting, held Jan. 13 and 14, was certainly one of the best, perhaps I might say the best, we have ever enjoyed in this section. The church was edified and encouraged, and sinners were converted to God. Five took a decided stand to keep the commandments of God, and another so nearly committed himself that there is not much doubt that he will embrace the truth. Among the thoroughly decided, was the husband of our faithful sister E. M. Prentiss of Parma. Two or three of them, relatives of Bro. D. M. Canright, had never before made public confession of their faith in Christ. They remained after the meeting was dismissed, unwilling to leave the place till they should receive further instructions in the work in which they were so newly engaged, and to have prayers still offered in their behalf. We instructed them to believe that Christ was willing to do for them what he came into the world to do for sinners, and after a solemn, and deeply interesting season of prayer in their behalf, they left for their home rejoicing in hope of the glory of God. May God still bless them and lead them all the way through to the kingdom of God. Quite a number of others who attended our meetings were evidently deeply interested hearers of the solemn truths pertaining to the present time, and we trust that the good work will not stop here. May God help them to realize the importance of obedience, and may they not harden their hearts by delay.
