Monthly Meeting at Topsham, Me.

By Dudley Marvin Canright

THIS meeting was held April 25 and 26. Only a few were in from abroad. This is not as it should be; it indicates a lack of interest. The Portland church has never manifested much interest in sustaining these Monthly Meetings.

Notwithstanding this, I met a larger number in the meetings than I had expected. There seems to be an excellent interest here among outsiders. Quite a number have come into the truth of late, some very good ones, who are a help to the church. With labor, many more might be brought in. Some are slow to live out the health and dress reforms. They need help on these points.

I enjoyed good liberty in presenting the word during the meetings, and it seemed to find a place in the hearts of those who heard. May God bless the people and build them up. D. M. CANRIGHT.
