Report from Bro. Taylor.
By C. O. Taylor
ACCORDING to the action of our State Conference, at its last session, and by the arrangement of the committee, I met the appointment at Buck’s Bridge, Oct. 27 and 28. Nearly all of this church, a good delegation from Norfolk, and one from Bangor, were present. The meeting was characterized with deep solemnity, heart searching, and a settling into the will of God. Three were baptized, and two united with the church. While attending the ordinances, the sweet, melting and cementing influence of the Holy Spirit rested on our hearts, drawing us together and making us one in the work of the Lord. This church is ready for every good word and work. They promptly responded to the call of the Conference, and sent their proportion to aid the Roosevelt church. Oct. 30 and 31, I was with the church at Norfolk, visiting from house to house during the day, and holding meetings evenings. While with them we were comforted with the comfort wherewith the Lord comforts his people. Nov. 3 and 4, I spent with the church in Bangor. I had not visited this church for some time, and had many things to say to them; and while I endeavored to hold up and impress on their minds the light from the faithful and true Witness, the blessing of health they would receive if they would live out all the laws of their Maker, and the state of holiness and purity we must attain to in order to be holy still,—then faith quickened, and the meeting increased in interest till it closed. Sunday evening I went to Brandon and spoke to a congregation on the signs of the Lord’s coming. We had the evidence that some rays of light and truth were falling on the minds of the people, particularly the truth that—the end of all things is at hand. During the meeting at Buck’s Bridge the next Quarterly Meeting at Norfolk was appointed. It was also agreed to continue their Monthly Meetings as they had for a number of years. We found some in these churches who wanted no hoops, at this late hour of time, no, not so much as small ones.
