CANASARAGA AND CHITTENANGO, NEW YORK.
By Chas. B. Reynolds
Our Sabbath meeting, held in the church at Canasaraga, Feb. 10, was a most blessed season. Among others, the husband of Sr. Delia Fitch, who has so liberally aided to sustain the meetings, made glad all our hearts by embracing the truth. By heartfelt confession and earnest prayer, he gives sure evidence of genuine conversion. Thus have a faithful wife's long-continued, important prayers been answered, just when hope was waning. The promises of the Lord are sure, but the prayer of faith, to prevail, must be accompanied with a consistent Christian life, a persistent endeavor to overcome, and the zealous performance of every known duty. “And whatsoever we ask we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.” 1 John 3: 22. The hall at Chittenango has been paid for for another week by voluntary contributions by outside friends. The attendance continues good, and the interest is deepening. Church members seek in vain for help from their ministers to sustain Sunday observance. They only piteously implore their members to adopt the stay-away argument. Their opposition is mainly covert, but the more intelligent, alike professors and world's people, seem determined to hear. May the Lord continue his blessing, and add to the number of honest hearts who are already obeying the truth. In view of the interest here, we suggest Canasaraga, where we can have the use of the church building, as a most desirable place for Bro. Canright to hold meetings for this district. CHAS. B. REYNOLDS.
