Meetings in N. Y.

By C. O. Taylor; S. B. Whitney

BRO. WHITE : On leaving Oswego Co., we found a quiet rest of body and spirit at the home of Bro. Patten, where we had meetings in the district schoolhouse two evenings. Bro. P., and family are pressing on in the good work. They hold themselves ready to embrace, and walk in the light of present truth, as it shines out from the sacred pages. May God bless them.

We filled our appointment at Kirkville. Before reaching the place, we got the impression that Bro. Kinne had moved from the village, and that Bro. Smith was living at some distance; and knowing that the night would be severely cold, it looked very discouraging in regard to having a meeting. But to our joy we found Bro. Kinne, living there, and the notice for meeting well circulated, and at the hour all the church but one, were there, and a good number of others who gave the best attention to the word spoken. We found this church pressing together and striving to walk in love and union. They are quite thorough in all reforms, striving to hold up the truth and light.

We were happy to meet one brother from Pompey Hill, and two sisters from Liverpool. While here we visited the resting place of our departed Bro. Sperry and companion, and prayed as we had before, that the mantle of love and zeal, that they had in life might fall on us.

Our meeting at Verona, we trust was one of profit to the few there. The effort that the brethren made to circulate the appointment, gave us a larger congregation than we generally get at that place. This church has made some improvement in temperance, and yet there is a chance for more. We trust they will move forward.
