The Days of Fasting.

By C. O. Taylor

I look back to our days of fasting and prayer with some degree of satisfaction, so far as present results are concerned. Nearly all here engaged in fasting. The meetings were well attended. The testimonies and prayers showed that the Lord was laying the burden of the work upon his people, to cry to the Lord of the harvest to raise up laborers. As we took the general wants of the cause on us, we felt our own hearts warming up with love to God. While we confessed our wrongs, &c., our hearts were more enlarged to love each other.
We added alms with our prayers and fasting. Some gave to the Book and Tract Society, that this good work may go forward. The Spirit helped some to remember, that those the Lord should call to the work of the ministry would want of this world's goods, and led them to lay the same upon the altar anew. To God be all the praise. C. O. TAYLOR.
