An Evil Remedied.

By Editor

WE have witnessed large assemblies at Advent meetings, where the expenses have fallen on a few individuals. A few sisters (some of them perhaps quite feeble) have had all the burden of the cooking for, and waiting upon, the many in attendance; so those in the vicinity of such meeting could not enjoy them, or be benefited by them.

This evil can be remedied. Those who attend such meetings can take provisions and some bedding (if necessary) with them; they can try to wait upon themselves, and keep out of the way of those who have the care of the meeting upon them. Plain provisions are certainly best, and in accordance with the faith of God's remnant people. Let this plan be carried out, and the burden of meetings will not fall on a few, a door will not be opened for any to follow for "the loaves and fishes," and all may enjoy the meeting.
