Doings of the Brethren in Western N. Y.
At a monthly meeting held in Parma, N. Y. Sept. 12-14, the following resolutions were passed unanimously: Whereas, The war excitement at the present time seems to hedge up the way for further operations with the tent this season; and, Whereas, Labor is evidently much needed among the various churches throughout the State, and the present opportunity seeming to be favorable for the tent messengers to perform such labor; therefore in behalf of this monthly meeting, and the brethren in Western New York, Resolved, That we recommend and authorize Brn. Andrews and Cornell to make a tour throughout the State, and hold meetings with the several churches, and perform such labor among them, as in their judgment may be for their good, and the best good of the cause at large. Resolved, That we recommend them, as soon as may be consistent with their duties, as set forth in the foregoing resolutions, to appoint at some central and convenient place, a State conference; and that they invite Br. and Sr. White to attend the same. Resolved, That we now heartily invite Brn. Andrews and Cornell to remain and labor in this State and locate among us with their families. J. M. LINDSAY, Chairman. J. M. ALDRICH, Secretary. P. S. In behalf of the tent committee, a majority being present, I am authorized to request all churches and individuals whose pledges to the tent fund are yet unpaid, to pay the same to the treasurer, M. E. Cornell, when he comes along; and in no case delay payment of the same beyond the time of the State conference. Brethren let there be promptness in this matter. Those who have not yet subscribed, nor given according to the scripture rule, see 1 Cor. xvi, 2, are cordially invited to respond as duty may dictate. Next monthly meeting at Bro. Buckland's, Carlton, N. Y. Second Sabbath in Oct. J. M. A.
