Biblical Institute Lectures.
By J. H. W.
The course of lectures continued its interest to the close. The time allotted was not sufficient to allow an investigation of all points of the truth, yet the multitude of questions presented to, and answered by, the lecturers, took in a wide range, and, while some subjects were canvassed thoroughly, some light was elicited on almost every subject. Most of the members of the class took copious notes of the lectures and of the answers to the questions, and thus have now in their possession the means of perfecting their knowledge in time to come. A vote was passed, also, that a report be made out for publication. If this shall be carried out it will be of great interest to the whole body of believers in all parts of the land. The closing exercises on Sunday evening, Jan. 3, were of unusual interest. A recapitulation of subjects canvassed was presented by Bro. Smith. At this point sister White entered the house. She had been very sick for several days, and all had resigned their hope of hearing her again before their departure. But the Lord, in answer to prayer, visited her in mercy and in power, and to the great joy of all present she was enabled to give a powerful exhortation and cheering testimony. Bro. White followed with a stirring appeal which went to the hearts of the large assembly. After brief remarks by several others, and a resolution of thanks to the conductors of the Biblical Institute, and to the Battle Creek church for their hospitality, the hymn, “When shall we meet again?” was sung, and the meeting was closed. The best of feeling prevailed, and all expressed the deepest satisfaction with the course of lectures and the happy manner of its termination. J. H. W.
