THE cause of truth and Bible holiness is onward. What if it be a shaking time? This is necessary to sift the church, and shake off dead weights. The real friends of the cause, who have the root of the matter in them, stand firm, and are ready to act their part in the cause. We were much cheered in meeting with many of the true friends of the cause in Oswego Co., at the Oswego Tent meeting. The Lord was with us in that meeting. We had one of the most blessed and powerful prayer-meetings in Oswego, that we have witnessed for years.
Our meetings in this place (near Buck's Bridge, St. Law. Co.) have been cheering. About 600 came out in the rain last First-day to hear. We stay here over next Sabbath. Brn. Wheeler of N. H., and Hart and Philips of Vt. are here, and are in the work. If it be pleasant weather, there will be a great crowd out to hear on First-day. There is quite a company of firm believers in this vicinity, most of them from the Wesleyan Church within a few years. They have received all three messages at once, and are doing well on them. God bless them, and let them have their "penny," though they may not have "borne the burden and heat of the day."
There are calls for meetings in two places in this part of the State that we are obliged to pass by. The Lord has opened the way for the presentation of the truth to the people and calls on us to cry aloud and spare not, to lift up the voice like a trumpet, and shew his people their transgressions. May God help his people with faith and energy to do their duty in this last message. There are now five Tents in the field. God seems to bless this mode of convening the people to hear. The cause is onward, and God's people will finally triumph.
