Brooklyn (N. Y.) Church Number Two

By J. K. HUMPHREY.

THE work in connection with this church has taken a turn in the right direction. On Sabbath, October 12, we had a very inspiring quarterly meeting. Almost every member within the city limits attended, responded to the roll-call, and, with two or three exceptions, had words of courage and hope to give. It did my heart good to see the congregation stand

with unswerving loyalty to this organization and the truths and principles for which it stands. We decided not to come behind in the raising of our share of the $150,000 fund, and we pray that all our churches will rally and let this conference sing the song of jubilee before the Atlantic Union Conference convenes. This beautiful Sabbath closed, leaving behind it very pleasant reminiscences.

Sabbath, October 19, was also a day of great praise and gratitude to God.

A Young People's Society was organized in connection with this church, having as its incentive the great needs of our field. We have realized as never before that this message must go to the world in this generation; and if our people are to give it, we must bestir ourselves in a way we have not yet done; therefore we organized for aggressive work, and feel that if all the members of this Society receive the unction from on high, we shall not pull in our reins until the work is done. If I mistake not, this is the youngest Society now in the Greater New York Conference, and perhaps the smallest, but we are to be heard from at an early date, because we mean business. The battle is the Lord's, and we are his.
