Our Meetings

By J. C.

Our Meetings.—See to it that our meetings are pleasant, and free, and edifying, and interesting; clear up all private wrongs previously, or else defer them till afterwards. Do not poison your meetings with discipline, and accusation, and recrimination. If any one should do so, do not notice it; quell your swelling passions. But if Bro. Contumacious, or sister Spunk should foul the clear water, stand still, the rest of you, until the muddy water floats down stream, and the good shepherd will remove such goats from the flock. Thus your good meetings will give coloring to your religion, and thus these tints growing brighter and deeper, will finally satisfy our Teacher. J. C.
