TENT MEETINGS IN N. Y.

By Rosewell F. Cottrell

Bro. Smith: Our meeting at North Parma, Monroe Co., is just closed. It is a place where much prejudice has existed against the Advent faith; but in the minds of many the prejudice has been giving place to a spirit of inquiry concerning the evidences of our position. Many have confessed their conviction that we have the truth, and a few have decided to obey. The Lord help these to overcome every obstacle that the enemy can place in their way. It is truly an important decision that men are making! a decision upon which life, eternal life, is depending! Many confess the truth, but do not obey. It is to my mind a solemn question. How many of those who confess the truth will be of that class to whom it will be said, "Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee"? O that they could realize the danger of delaying obedience to that which is so clearly the truth of the word of the Lord!
The way seems opening for the truth. In every direction there is an ear to hear. May the Lord guide his servants at this time, that their efforts may be so directed as to prove the most availing for the salvation of souls. And may they be better prepared by the Spirit of God to fulfill their all-important mission, and may laborers be qualified and sent forth into the harvest. The field is fast whitening for the harvest. It is important that every one of the people of the Lord strive to have a part in the great work. Let us not sleep, but let us watch and strive to fulfill our part, that we may hear it said to us, "Well done." R. F. C. Aug. 28.
