MEETING AT ROCHESTER, N. Y.
By R. F. Cottrill
This meeting, held on the second Sabbath and first-day in April, was one of deep interest; and its effects will tell upon the eternal destiny of some that were present. Personal labor was taken up for several young persons, and appeals were made to them that will, it is hoped, prove a savor of life unto life unto them. If not, they will certainly prove a savor of condemnation and death in the last day. These young persons, about six or seven in number, some backsliders and some beginners, each resolved to seek the Lord in earnest, and desired the prayers of the people of God. Brethren, pray for them. And may God help them each to fulfill their vows by giving their hearts to the Lord without reserve, diligently striving to obey God and gain eternal life. Life or death depends on how you act, my dear friends, in respect to the resolutions you there recorded, under those fervent appeals indited by the Spirit of God. If you are faithful to your vows, you will have cause of eternal gratitude to God, and to his dear servants, who labored so zealously to pull you out of the fire. Oh, be faithful and be saved! Come to the next meeting dead to sin, and thus ready to be buried in the likeness of Christ's death and to rise to walk in newness of life.
