The N. Y. Biblical Institute.
ERE this paper reaches its readers, this Institute will be past. Up to the date of this writing, April 4, its success has been very gratifying; and what is most important of all, its spiritual interest has more than kept pace with its other departments. A prayer-meeting of thirty minutes’ duration precedes the morning lecture, and we have a social meeting of one hour before the evening lecture. The evening after last Sabbath, this social meeting was of so interesting a character that the regular lecture gave way before it, and it continued till half past eight. Nearly every one present was deeply moved. It seemed like a fulfillment of Mal. 4: 6, the hearts of the fathers turning to the children, and the hearts of the children to the fathers. Two have here made a public commencement of the service of God, and some of those without are regular and interested attendants upon the evening meetings. Bro. Haskell arrived last Tuesday, and will be a great help during the remainder of the session. With the help of the young men who will give themselves to the work from this meeting, New York will be able to man seven tents the coming season.
