To the Brethren in New York.
By D. Arnold
DEAR BRETHREN: I was glad to see the note from Bro. Cottrell in No. 26, in regard to the monthly and quarterly meetings in the western part of the State, for I do hail with joy each and every approximation toward that state of order to which the S. D. Advent church is now verging. May the good work hasten, is my prayer. And how is it with Central and Northern N. Y.? Are we not prepared to follow the good example of our brethren in Western N. Y.? Cannot Oswego—Jefferson—Onondaga and the western part of Oneida and Madison—the eastern part of Oneida and Madison and Herkimer counties—and the churches in St. Lawrence and adjoining counties, form each a division for monthly gatherings, and Oswego, Jefferson, and Onondaga—Oneida, Madison, and Herkimer—and St. Lawrence and adjoining counties, form each a district for quarterly meetings? This will give five divisions for monthly, and three districts for quarterly, meetings. Speak, brethren, and ratify or amend, as you shall think proper.
D. ARNOLD.
