OUR meetings still continue to be held at Union Grove school-house, where sister Roushley lives, two miles north-east of Clarence, and are increasing in interest.
Our meeting at Marion, as per notice in REVIEW for Oct. 26 and 27, is past. The objects of the meeting were, I trust, fully met. Bro. Nicola and Mitchell labored earnestly, with their usual care and interest for the cause, and good was done.
When Bro. Nicola, on first-day, gave his last discourse, I could but admire the wisdom of God in leading his people. How well true charity “knows how, with just reins and gentle hand,” to guide between vile shame and arbitrary pride, knows how to lay the rough path of peevish nature even, and open in each heart a little Heaven.”
God, even our Father, is waiting to be gracious in sending laborers into the harvest; but will respect his own injunction, “Pray ye,” &c. JESSE DORCAS.
