Monthly Meetings in N. Y.
By Elias Goodwin
BRO. WHITE: I attended the monthly meeting at Roosevelt N. Y. the first Sabbath and first-day in Feb. There was a good gathering of Brn. and sisters to this meeting. We were happy to meet Bro. Taylor at the meeting, who came to us "in the fullness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ," who has done much for the church in Roosevelt, toward bringing them into the unity of the faith, and love for each other, and in feeling a sympathy for those that had become discouraged among them, and whom Satan had well nigh destroyed. I believe the church in Roosevelt is rising, and that they will not in the future be ignorant of the devices of Satan, and be annoyed with those little petty trials, and picking at straws with which they have been in the past. I think they are beginning to love one another with pure hearts fervently, and that henceforth they will so let their light shine before others, that they seeing their good works, may be led to embrace the truth and be saved with the remnant. It was thought by those present to be the best and most profitable monthly meeting that has been held in this region; especially the last evening. We seemed to have the best of the wine at the last of the feast. Many that evening enjoyed a freedom that they had been strangers to for a long time. I hope that we shall not lose the good influence of that meeting, nor the encouragement we received, but that henceforth we may be living epistles known and read of all men, and grow up into Christ our living head, that we may be found of him in peace without spot and blameless.
