Hold Meetings for One Week
By Editor
We would suggest the propriety of holding meetings, where circumstances will admit, twice the length of time they are usually held. It is often the case that lecturing brethren labor hard against a tide of opposition all through a meeting of two or three days. And when the opposition is broken down, and the way is open to accomplish great good, they leave to attend other appointments, and leave the ground for the opposers of our faith to cast a blighting influence, before the word has taken deep root. Whereas, if they had remained sufficient time to give more fully the reasons of our hope and faith, those interested would have been enlightened and strengthened so as not to be affected either by the sophistry or slander of those who teach the abolition or change of God's law. We give it as our opinion that in many cases meetings should hold one week.
