Arrangement for Monthly Meetings.
By Wm. S. Higley Jr.
The Shelby, Oakland, Memphis, and Lapeer, churches, have resolved to unite, and by the blessing of the Lord, sustain Monthly Meetings as follows: At Oakland, the second Sabbath in September; Memphis, the second Sabbath in October; Lapeer, the second Sabbath in November; and so to continue every three months at the above-named churches. Members of the Hadley, Thetford, and other churches, and the lone ones far and near, are cordially invited to come up to, and help sustain and enjoy, these holy convocations. All who are too far off to come Sabbath mornings should come some hours before the Sabbath, so that our teams and ourselves may be cared for and everything be quietly disposed of before the Sabbath. Meetings will begin at sun-set, Sabbath eve; at nine o'clock in the morning, and at one o'clock P. M. The meetings will begin early and continue later for the reason that we do not expect preaching, but that they will be sustained by prayers and testimonies flowing from hearts warm in the truth. As there will be many present and we shall want to hear from all, there will be no time for long, formal, exhortations; but to tell what the Lord has done for us, of our hopes and our fears of our progress in the good way and our efforts to overcome the powers of darkness. Come one and all. Come praying that the Saviour's promise may be ours to enjoy, peradventure "the Lord will hearken and a book of remembrance be kept," the standard of truth be elevated in every heart, and we be found like that servant that was watching for, and waiting, his Lord's return. By order of the churches.
