THE quarterly meeting at Ulysses, Pa., Dec. 22 to 24, was one of the most excellent that it has ever been our pleasure to enjoy. From the commencement to the close, the Spirit of the Lord rested upon the church in an unusual manner. Wicked spirits were chained, the saints were edified and encouraged, and powerful impressions were made upon the minds of some in favor of the truth, according to their own confession. But of one thing we are reminded, our Heavenly Father does not bless his people without a purpose. The good cheer with which he has favored us has been given to strengthen us for the deepening conflict. May it inspire courage and faith in all our hearts.
The enemy has been hard at work, and still manifests an unwillingness to leave the ground. Were it not that “God is our shield, and guards our way,” we might as well make no further effort; but since we have the strong arm of the mighty One to lean upon and to ward off the fiery darts of the wicked, we cheerfully go forward. One sister who had long since given up keeping the Sabbath in discouragement, expressed her determination to start anew. May the Lord help.
