TIOGA.—We enjoyed a most pleasant and profitable season during the recent week of prayer. We decided to try the plan of inviting our neighbors to meet with us, and the invitation met with a hearty response. Old and young seemed interested, and the attendance ranged from fifteen to fifty. We followed the regular readings in the REVIEW AND HERALD, and the instruction given was received with hearty “amens,” from the leading religionists of the community.
The Methodist minister took part with us, invited us to his house for one of our services, and declined to take charge of the meeting, saying that he could not improve upon the regular reading for the day. He also proposed that we continue the work by holding a weekly neighborhood prayer meeting hereafter; that short Bible studies be conducted as an opening exercise; that these meetings be held at his home, which he gladly opens to us unless we accept invitations to meet elsewhere. Our first weekly service was held at the home of the Methodist steward. We have held a number of Bible studies there, and the family is deeply interested in the truth and anxious to hear more. The minister also has asked a great many questions, and is now studying “Thoughts on Daniel and the Revelation.” One evening we conducted a study on the Eastern Question, which was well received. We believe that on the whole an excellent impression has been made for the truth, and our own souls have been greatly encouraged and refreshed.
