MONTHLY MEETING AT BURLINGTON.
By John Byington
By request I accompanied Bro. Waggoner to this meeting which was held the 14th and 15th inst. Bro. W. preached on the subject of humility, and especially of the younger being subject to the elder, and all being subject one to the other. 1 Pet. v, 5. The discourse was deeply interesting, and cannot fail to do good. In the afternoon we had social meeting. In the evening I talked a short time on the perils of the last days; and that these perils mostly came from the church, and are found among ourselves. 2 Tim, iii, 5, &c. Bro. W. spoke on first-day from Titus ii, 11–13. Some from without were there to hear. The discourse will long be remembered. In the afternoon there was an examination of the wrong course of some of the youth in this church, which has brought deep trial on the minds of some, which, I fear, can never be fully removed. When will the youth among us learn subjection, especially children to parents? I hope the erring ones will speedily give evidence of deep repentance. Our next Monthly Meeting, which would be at Newton the 9th of May, will be held in union with Bro. White’s meeting at Battle Creek at that time.
