From Bro. Satterlee.

BRO. WHITE: We have just closed our quarterly meeting of March 5 and 6, and I am not able to fully describe the refreshing season we have enjoyed. We listened to a discourse by Bro. Blanchard Sabbath A. M., from Heb. x, 37. Social meeting at 4 P. M. Met again in the evening and were greatly strengthened and encouraged by a practical discourse from Matt. xxvi, 41, after which we attended to the ordinances of the Lord's house. We knew that Jesus was in our midst, and we seemed to hear his sweet voice saying, "If I then your Lord and Master have washed your feet, ye also ought to wash one another's feet." Deep solemnity rested upon us while we partook of the emblems of our Saviour's love; after which we sang a hymn and went out.

Met Sunday morning at 9 o'clock to transact business, and among the various items that came up before the meeting, one was that the church recommend each member to appear, or report themselves by letter, at each quarterly meeting.

Heard preaching again at 11 o'clock from Heb. viii, 7, Bro. Blanchard showing conclusively that the law of God being a complete covenant, could be no part of the old covenant, which was faulty and done away, but is still binding on all mankind. Again in the evening he spoke upon the same subject, showing the blessings of the new covenant.

Thus closed our quarterly meeting, all feeling encouraged to press together, and do all in their power to advance the precious truth. Oh may the church come up where God can work for them, so that his glorious truth may shine forth in all its beauty, his great name be glorified, and his people be prepared to meet their glorious King, whose coming is near at hand. Brethren, let us arise.
