Our Quarterly Meeting.

By N. M. Jordon

Our quarterly meeting in this place, held Oct. 1 and 2, was blessed of the Lord. There was quite a large attendance of the church. Bro. and Sr. Chase from Fall River, added much to the interest of the meeting by their presence, their testimonies, their prayers, and their singing. In our season of prayer, the brethren and sisters humbly asked the Lord for the blessing to rest upon the meeting. As the blessed influence of the Holy Spirit hovered around us, we felt the love of God in our hearts, and that our divine Master was in our midst, and that to bless.

After the season of prayer came the heart-cheering testimonies from those who were looking for the blessed hope, the glorious appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ. Unity and love seemed to pervade the meeting. The church was much encouraged and strengthened by this meeting, to persevere in the service of God.

In the afternoon of the Sabbath, we attended to the ordinances of the Lord’s house. It was good to be there. In the evening of first-day, we had a business session for the transaction of such business as pertained to this church. One brother was disfellowshiped for disorderly work. Thus closed a good meeting.
