Quarterly Meeting at Pine Island, Minn.
By H. F. Phelps
WE wish to say one thing in regard to the coming Quarterly Meeting at this place, and that is, we extend a cordial invitation to all, far and near, to come up to the help of the Lord. Let us try to awake, and get in working order. But do not forget to come prepared to take care of yourselves, as far as possible, bringing provisions, bed blankets, horse feed, &c. And brethren who live nearest need not think they will be excused in this matter. The little few in this place are willing to bear burdens, and will bestow their hospitality, not grudgingly; but they wish, as far as they can, to be able to enjoy these meetings. We speak these things more especially for the sisters, upon whom usually comes so great a burden in the culinary department. We all need the benefit of such meetings, and so will try to bear each other's burdens.
