Niles Hill.

Bro. A. H. Hall, writing from Niles Hill, says, “Yesterday was a good day here. In the morning we had a good social meeting. Nearly every one, old and young, had a testimony to bear. Some new ones took a part. House well filled at preaching time. We organized a Sabbath-school, consisting of five classes of children and one class of young ladies. Between forty and fifty attended the ordinance meeting. I think that forty took part. It was one of the most happy meetings I ever attended. Some strong men wept like children. Such a day they have not seen for many years, if ever. It is eight years since they had the ordinances in this church. One sister who had been an Adventist for fourteen years had never attended an ordinance meeting. This is too bad. Such slackness is a disgrace to us.”

“This revival is felt all over the town. The people thought that Seventh-day Adventists never had revivals like this; hence it astonishes them the more. They are very anxious to have the tent come to Wellsville. There is a great interest to hear on the subject of the Advent.”

Thank God for this good work. May it go on and increase. D. M. Canright.

Parma.

I visited Parma again last Sabbath and first-day, May 28, 29. Found the friends doing well. Baptized several more, and arranged S. B. amounting to nearly $150.

An error occurs in the testimonial given in my last report, which I would like to correct. The sentence, “And passages which are usually regarded as obscure, because woven into intellectual chains, were explained,” should read thus: “And passages which are usually regarded as obscure became woven into intellectual chains,” omitting “were explained.”

Sabbath, May 26, was a good day for the church at Niles Hill. Bro. A. H. Hall spoke in the forenoon. The social meeting was excellent, and our house of worship was well filled. A Bible-class and Sabbath-school was organized, and teachers elected, and in the evening the ordinances were celebrated. It was a most precious season. Union and harmony prevailed.

Bro. Canright’s labors have proved a great blessing to this people, and the way is now open for him to come to Wellsville with the large tent, which we hope he may do immediately after the Western N. Y. Camp-meeting, if the providence of God so directs. John Lindsey.
