CANASARAGA AND CHITTENANGO, NEW YORK.
By Chas. B. Reynolds
The blessing of the Lord continues upon the work at Canasaraga. Last Sabbath only two of our brethren from abroad were able to meet with us, but we had an excellent meeting. Despite the very unfavorable weather and roads made bad by the thaw, there were twenty-six present. Three more started to keep the Sabbath. One young man and his wife. He said he knew not how they should live, how it would be about finding employment, that he should lose his present situation, but he would obey God, and trust him. The other is a brother of means and influence; and when he resumes business, which he expects to do shortly, he will afford employment to quite a number of Sabbath-keepers. I have now held meetings here every night for five weeks. The attendance continues good; but I shall have to adjourn after to-night, Feb. 4. The people in Chittenango are much interested. The business men, especially the nonprofessors, are very desirous to have opportunity to hear. A paper was circulated on Friday morning, and in a very brief time sufficient money was subscribed to hire the largest and best hall in the village, including fuel and lights, for seven nights. I shall commence meetings there, D. V., Monday, Feb. 5. There is much talk of securing some able orthodox minister to present their side of the question. The Lord has now opened the way here. Pray that wisdom may be given me so to present the truth in humility and love that God will bless it to honest hearts.
