Mannsville, N. Y.

By C. O. Taylor

LAST Sabbath and first-day was monthly meeting for Jefferson Co.; at Mannsville. For some reason, there were only three from the Adams Center church. Our hearts were made glad at the meeting Brn. Edson and Treadwell. They came to us in love. Their testimony was very encouraging. Bro. E. still maintains a lively and firm faith in the soon coming of the Lord, and that we are near the close of the night of watching. He rejoiced in the sacrifices of the past, and was willing to continue them.

In the evening after the Sabbath, we met to attend the ordinances, and the Master met with us. The falling tear, and the repeated expressions of praise to God, told plainly that Jesus, by his sweet melting Spirit, was there. For a while, we lost sight of the earthly, and got a view of the heavenly. We all took new courage to overcome and stand complete in Jesus, ready to work for him here, and be ready for the refreshing when it shall come. C. O. TAYLOR.
