THE MEETING.

By A. W. Cone

The T. and M. quarterly meeting of Dist. No. 5, Kansas, is now in the past. Owing to the short notice, there was not a very full report, and but a small attendance of the brethren from other churches. I think, brethren, we should make a greater effort to get out to these meetings. They will be just what we make them. The Lord has promised, and is fully able to do his part. Shall we do our whole duty and have the rich blessing of God? I shall try to give you no excuse next time. The last meeting, on first-day evening, was well attended by outsiders. There are some, I think, deeply interested. One member was received in the Mound City society and two in the Centerville society; so we have three more missionaries in our district.

Thus the work goes on. Brethren, let us get the true missionary spirit deeply instilled into our hearts, and earnestly labor on until the Master comes to give every man according as his works shall be. Let us continue to sow the good seed; and remember, “he that soweth bountifully shall also reap bountifully, but he that soweth sparingly shall also reap sparingly.”

Brethren, we cannot afford to be idlers in the Lord’s vineyard, for none such will ever hear the “well done good and faithful servant.” May the Lord help us to work and work now.
