ENCOURAGING.

By R. F. Cottrell

Our last monthly meeting in Western N. Y. was a meeting of deep interest. The church is being revived. One evident reason is, we are striving to come up to the work on the testimony of Jesus. We have not realized our lack on this point as we ought; and we are confident that an organization of the church upon both of the two great principles—the commandments of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ—will bring it up where it will enjoy the favor of God, and be prepared for the closing work of the message.
The salvation of the children of believers was the leading theme of our meeting. The sweet, melting Spirit came upon us, and some said it was the best meeting they ever attended. Some that have long been holding back are taking hold anew, and one that has made no profession of the faith, arose to request the prayers of the church. May the good work go on.
