Zeal That Tells.

By Uriah Smith

As an illustration of the commendable interest which some of our brethren feel in attending meetings we give the following incidents from a private note just received from Bro. Haskell. Speaking of his meetings in N. Y., he says:—

“Notwithstanding the bad traveling, our brethren have turned out remarkably well. One came fifty miles on a stone-boat, because it was neither sleighing nor wheeling. Another walked twenty miles through the mud and rain, that his women folks might ride.”

It is safe to assert that these had a good meeting, the sentiment of the hymn being true:—

“For Thou within no walls confined, Dost dwell with those of humble mind. Such ever bring Thee where they come, And going, take Thee to their home.”

The particulars of these meetings will soon be given by Bro. H.
