Report of Labors.

By John Lindsey; S. A. H. Lindsey

The quarterly meeting at Ulysses, June 17 and 18, was of deep interest and solemnity. Bro. Edson from Oswego Co., N. Y., was with us and greatly encouraged us by his cheering testimonies. He called our minds to the rapidly fulfilling prophecies, and pointed out the duty of watchfulness lest the day of the Lord come upon us unawares. Surely, God is good. He is long-suffering, not willing that any should perish. May we, as a church, give earnest heed to the warnings of his word.
July 1 and 2, we attended quarterly meeting with the church at Niles Hill. Here we were favored with faithful testimonies from Bro. Edson and Cottrell. Three were baptized. Some at this place will be benefited, others will not; but one thing is certain, if we refuse the light that now shines so brightly, gross darkness will inevitably overtake us a little way in the future. If the third angel's message and the reforms connected with it are of God, then it is time that we were examining and proving ourselves whether we are in harmony with them. “Be not deceived; God is not mocked; for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.” Gal. 6: 7, 8.
