Quarterly Meeting at Hamlin, N. Y.
By R. F. Cottrell
THIS meeting, held Jan. 14, 15, was one of deep interest, and, I trust, profit. Some excellent exhortations to lives of consecration and faith, were given, which, if heeded (and I hope they will be,) will prepare the church to occupy her proper position as the light of the world. The importance of attending to the physical laws of our being, in order to be prepared to glorify God in our bodies and spirits, was clearly and forcibly laid before the meeting, with earnest exhortations to all, to cheerfully embrace and live up to the light we are receiving on this important subject. It was a solemn heart-searching time, and all seemed resolved to get into such a place before the Lord that he can honor us, without dishonoring himself. The Lord is ready to pour out his Spirit and do great things for us, when we are sanctified and prepared to receive the blessing, and to use it to his glory. May we soon learn to appreciate what God is doing for us, and take hold and be co-workers with him. A stranger that chanced to be present, from Wyoming Co., became satisfied that the Lord is leading us, and that we are enjoying the light and help from God which she had felt the want of. May the Lord cause that the standard of truth may be raised in her neighborhood.
