territory
was
quite
fully
dis-
cussed,
and
it
was
finally
voted
to
or-
ganize
the
States
of
Rhode
Island
and
Connecticut
into
a
conference,
to
be
called
“
The
Southern

Conference,”
and
Elder
C.

Edwards,
of
New

City,
was
elected
president,
on
condition
that
the
Greater
New
York
Conference
will
release
him
to
take
the
office.
The
remaining
territory,
Massachu-
setts
and
New
Hampshire,
was
given
the
name,
“
The
Central
New
England
Conference,”
and
officers
were
elected.
While
the
attendance
from
the
out-
side
was
rather
small,
we
had
good
evidence
that
the
influence
of
our
meetings
went
far
as
well
as
near,
and
many
barriers
of
prejudice
were
broken
down.
The
newspapers
gave
good
reports
daily
of
our
services.
At
the
close
nearly
all,
if
not
all,
went
home
feeling
that
our
conven-
tion
had
been
a
real
success,
and
we
look
for
fruits
from
its
seed-sowing
during
the
coming
fall
and
winter.
It
is
time
for
every
one
who
pro-
fesses
to
be
a
part
of
this
message
to
thank
God
and
take
courage,
and
talk
it
and
live
it,
and
our
next
convention
will
show
still
greater
victories.

My
canvassing
record
has
not
ap-
peared
regularly
the
past
two
months,
not
that
I
have
in
any
degree
lost
my
interest
in
that
branch
of
the
message,
but
rather
I
have
a
deeper
interest
in
it
than
ever.
The
reason
my
report
has
been
missing
is,
that
the
Western
Pennsylvania
Conference
has
placed
a
tent
here
under
the
care
of
Elders
Schwartz
and
Baierle,
and
they
re-
quested
me
to
act
as
tent-master.
No
doubt
all
the
readers
of
the
GLEANER
are
interested
in
the
efforts
being
put
forth
to
get
souls
converted
to
the
truth,
and
will
rejoice
with
us
when
we
tell
them
that
God’s
Holy
Spirit
is
working
upon
hearts
here.
Ten
or
more
have
declared
their
in-
ATLANTIC
UNION
GLEANER
tention
of
keeping
the
Sabbath.
The
two
sisters
that
Elder
Baierle
men-
tioned
gave
deep
spiritual
testimonies
of
their
gratitude
to
God
for
having
brought
to
their
knowledge
the
pre-
cious
truths
for
this
time.
A
number
of
others
are
interested
who
seem
un-
decided.
Realizing
that
the
work
is
not
of
man
but
of
God
who
has
entrusted
it
to
man
to
execute,
we
ask
an
interest
in
your
prayers,
that
as
instruments
we
may
sense
our
need
and
de-
pendence
on
God,
so
that
he
may
use
us
to
carry
on
his
work
to
his
honor
and
glory,
and
that
these
souls
may
be
thoroughly
established
in
his
word.

NORTH
WOLCOTT,

SABBATH,
September
19,
was
a
good
day
for
the
church
in
North
Wolcott.
After
a
sermon
on
the
importance
of
working
diligently
to
get
the
truth
be-
fore
our
friends
and
neighbors,
we
en-
joyed
a
good
social
meeting.
At
the
close
of
this
meeting,
two
persons
united
with
the
church,
one
of
them
receiving
baptism
that
day,
the
other
having
been
baptized
at
camp-meet-
ing.
The
Lord
has
given
us
fifteen
additions
to
this
church
in
about
eleven
months.
One
by
letter
and
fourteen
by
baptism
and
profession
of
faith.
To
his
name
be
all
the
praise.
The
audiences
at
the
evening
preaching
services
are
still
good,
and
we
hope
to
see
others
accepting
the
truth
in
the
futare.
Brethren,
pray
for
the
work
at
this
place.

MCLALLEN
CORNERS,
PA,
WE
can
truly
say
that
the
general
meeting
at
McLallen
Corners,
Pa.,
was
a
success
in
every
way.
A
goodly
number
of
our
people
were
present,
representing
nearly
all
the
churches
in
this
part
of
the
State.
We
enjoyed
the
presence
and
had
the
benefit
of
the
labors
of
four
of
our
ministers,
as
well
as
the
field
secretary.
The
pressure
of
the
work
in
the
field
was
so
great
that
Brother
Williams
was
obliged
to
leave
early
on
Sabbath
morning,
and
Brother
Longacre
after
the
Sabbath.
Brother
Underwood
arrived
on
Friday
aftery
noon
and
remained
during
the
meet-
ing.
All
appreciated
his
presence,
realizing
that
this
might
be
the
last
time
that
we
could
be
so
favored.
The
word
of
the
Lord
was
pre-
sented
with
faithfulness,
and
the
Spirit
of
God
was
here
to
impress
it
upon
hearts.
Many
souls
rejoiced
in
de-
liverance
from
bondage,
and
went
home
free
inthe
Lord.
Two
precious
ones
followed
their
Lord
in
baptism.
Some
new
recruits
enter
the
can-
vassing
work,
and
there
are
hopeful
signs
that
others
who
have
canvassed
for
our
books
in
years
gone
by,
will
again
enter
the
work.
We
very
much
appreciate
the
ex-
pressions
of
satisfaction
which
we
frequently
heard
from
all
our
brethren
and
sisters;
and
their
hearty
enjoy-
ment
of
this
little
outing
will
long
re-
main
in
our
minds,
as
well
as
their
full
content
with
everything
that
was
provided
for
them,
and
the
way
in
which
they
accommodated
themselves
to
the
inconveniences
which
were
un-
avoidable.
But
best
of
all
was
the
interest
manifested
by
the
people
in
the
vicinity,
especially
the
members
of
other
churches.
When
the
time
drew
near
for
the
opening
meeting,
there
came
up
a
thunder-storm
which
threatened
to
blow
the
tent
down,
and
everything
inside
the
tent
was
so
wet
that
we
could
not
use
it.
Then
came
a
very
cordial
invitation
for
us
to
use
the
church,
only
a
few
rods
away.
So
the
first
three
meetings
were
held
there.
On
Sabbath
afternoon
and
all
day
Sunday,
a
great
many
came
and
wor-
shiped
with
us,
taking
part
in
the
testimony
meeting
and
listening
with
interest
to
the
straight
testimony
that
