Note From Tompkins.

The good work begun a short time since, when Bro. Hutchins was with us, is not ended, but has been steadily progressing. We tried, by prayer, fasting, and much perseverance, to get out of our lukewarm condition; the Lord has heard and occasionally answered our prayers. We have kept up our prayer-meetings through the week. Our children have started in the service of the Lord. Others have attended our meetings until our house has been crowded. The solemnity of eternity has pervaded these meetings; we have felt the burden of souls upon us, and as we have tried to exhort others to come to the Saviour, the blessing of the Lord has rested upon us in great abundance, for which we feel to praise his name. Will some one of the preaching brethren meet with us at our next Monthly Meeting, which is the first Sabbath in April? The next meeting would be at Parma, but we take the responsibility to appoint it in Tompkins, that is, if you get this in season to give the appointment through the Review. There are some that will go forward in the ordinance of baptism, the first opportunity.

Yours striving for eternal life, E. P. GILES.

We will try to have a minister at that meeting. COM.
