Report of Meetings.

By John Lindsey; S. A. H. Lindsey

MAY 11, we filled our appointment at Knoxville, Penn. About one year ago, we providentially met the friends who invited us here. We found a little company of first-day Adventists, among whom we scattered such books as The Law and the Gospel, God's Memorial, Which Day do you Keep? and Why? &c. We received from them an urgent invitation to visit them again. May 13 and 14, we met with the church at Farmington. Our meetings here were excellent. May God bless this people, and increase their faith and courage.
From here we went to Hornby, N. Y. We found the friends there strong in the truth, although the enemy had been putting forth extra efforts to destroy the work.
May 19, commenced meetings at Catlin. Continued till the 21st. We enjoyed freedom and the blessing of the Lord. These friends at Catlin have been thinking of erecting a meeting-house; and we most sincerely hope they will do so.
Evening of the 21st, we spoke to a large congregation in the Universalist church at Beaver Dam. We enjoyed excellent liberty while we endeavored to impress the mind with the value of the word of the Lord and the benefits to be derived from a careful study of its sacred pages. We trust a good impression was left. May 27, we met with the friends at Alba, Penn., and found them firm in the truth, though some of them were not quite so free from the cares of this life as we would be glad to see them. May the Lord prosper them, and relieve them from embarrassment in his own time.
May 28, we held two meetings on the Armenian Mountain. A few here are keeping the Sabbath, and it seems to be a good field of labor.
May 30, we gave one discourse at the Miller school-house in the town of Lawrenceville, Penn. The people here desire a course of lectures. We gave them some tracts, and then left for another appointment at Wood-hull, the 31st. At this place, we spoke to a crowded house on the third angel's message. A deep interest was manifested among thefirst-day Adventists. They wished to hear more. They already had a little light on the life and death question, signs of the times, and the second advent of the Saviour; but farther than these, the prophecies were a mystery to them. We also spoke the evening of June 1, on the two covenants, dwelling largely on the new one. Our hearts are drawn out toward this people. There is an anxiety to hear a course of lectures. If the tent could go there, properly managed, we have no doubt but great good might be accomplished.
