raise
a
fund
to
defray
this
expense?
God
will
surely
hold
us
responsible
if
we
do
not
follow
up
immediately
these
most
providential
openings.
The
work
will
undoubtedly
develop
in
a
few
months,
as
large,
and
as
in-
teresting
a
correspondence
as
our
prison
work
has
done,
and
this
will
be
an
additional
expense.
But
in
what
other
way
can
we
give
them
the
whole
truth
?
We
desire
the
names
and
addresses
of
your
friends
and
relatives
who
are
serving
in
the
army
and
navy,
so
that
we
may
interest
them
in
this
work.
Will
you
pray
that
God
will
direct
in
the
opening
up
of
this
needy
field
to
the
truth
?

The
FIELD
A
GLAD
DAY.
"SABBATH,
December
27,
was
a
blessed
occasion
for
our
church
in
the
Bronx,
New
York
City.
The
ordinances
of
the
Lord's
house
were
celebrated
in
the
forenoon,
at
which
time
opportunity
was
given
for
those
who
wished,
to
join
the
church.
It
was
an
impressive
sight
as
thir-
teen
persons
arranged
themselves
across
the
front
of
our
little
hall,
seven
of
whom,
as
a
result
of
the
labors
of
Elder
Edwards
and
our
Bible
workers,
were
baptized
the
previous
Sunday,
and
one
united
by
profession
of
faith.
Five
united
by
transfer
of
member-
ship.
Others
are
ready
for
baptisin
and
only
delay,
in
hope
that
other
members
of
their
families
who
are
in-
terested
will
unite
with
them.
This
was
an
occasion
of
rejoicing
to
our
little
company,
and
brought
to
mind
the
‘glad
day,”
soon
to
come,
when
the
people
of
the
Lord
shall
gather
around
the
great
white
throne.
The
week
of
prayer
has
been
espe-
cially
helpful,
and
“more
consecrated
service
”
seems
to
be
the
watchword
of
all.

DeceMBER
5,
I
started
for
Lowell
and
Westfield
to
try
to
start
a
series
of
meetings
in
one
of
these
places,
as
our
people
living
in
that
vicinity
thought
there
was
some
interest
there
among
those
not
of
our
faith.
On
Sunday,
December
7,
by
invita-
tion
of
the
pastor,
I
spoke
twice
in
the
Congregational
church
at
Lowell,
but
the
way
did
not
open
for
the
meetings
to
continue.
However,
I
was
invited
to
give
Bible
readings
in
the
homes
of
two
families
of
his
people,
which
I
did
the
following
week,
and
found
one
family
fully
convinced
on
the
Sabbath
question.
We
hope
they
will
soon
obey.
Sunday,
December
14,
Elder
Wal-
lace
the
Methodist
pastor
who
preaches
at
both
Lowell
and
Westfield,
invited
me
to
speak
in
his
church
in
West-
field,
and
was
very
willing
indeed
that
a
series
of
meetings
should
be
held
in
his
church
at
that
place,
but
his
membership
did
not
feel
the
same
way,
hence
we
could
not
continue
the
services.
Sunday,
December
21,
Eider
Wallace
invited
me
to
speak
in
his
church
at
Lowell,
which
I
did,
and
found
his
people
there
more
friendly
toward
the
truth
than
they
were
at
Westfield;
but
it
did
not
seem
consistent
just
now
to
continue
the
meetings.
Iam
now
at
my
home
at
North
Wolcott,
assisting
the
brethren
what
Ican
in
getting
the
church
school
started.
I
became
much
interested
in
Elder
Wallace,
as
he
is
very
favorable
to
our
views.
He
has
taken
the
Signs
of
the
Times
in
past
years,
and
at
present
is
taking
the
Review
and
Herald.
He
seems
to
be
seeking
for
truth,
and
willing
to
receive
light.
He
has
been
a
successful
minister
in
the
M.
E.
Church
for
many
years,
an
able
speaker,
and
an
earnest
worker,
a
man
fifty
years
of
age,

strong
and
well,
and
able
to
do
hard
work
still.
Brethren,
pray
for
this
man,
that
the
Lord
may
move
upon
him
to
obey
the
whole
truth.
During
the
week
of
prayer
I
had
the
privilege
of
meeting
with
the
brethren
at
the
following
places,
Westfield,
North
Hyde
Park,
Morris
ville,
and
North
Wolcott.
At
all
these
places
a
good
spiritual
interest
was
manifested,
and
we
have
reason
to
believe
that
the
same
good
spirit
prevailed
throughout
the
entire
State
of
Vermont.

Tue
general
meeting
held
here
Sabbath
and
Sunday,
December
20
and
21,
was
well
attended.
The
breth-
ren
and
sisters
came
in
from
the
sur-
rounding
country.
The
best
of
all
was
the
presence
of
the
Holy
Spirit.
We
realized,
“Lo,
I
am
with
you.”
On
the
Sabbath
Elder
Spicer
spoke
in
the
morning,
followed
by
a
good
social
meeting,
in
which
one
gentle-
man
took
his
stand
to
keep
the
Sab-
bath.
We
had
been
laboring
for
his
conversion
for
many
months.
When
his
wife,
who
was
absent
on
account
of
sickness,
heard
of
it,
she
was
so
over-
joyed
that
she
wept
freely.
She
is
a
happy
woman.
In
the
afternoon
Brother
Thomp-
son
spoke,
and
at
the
conclusion
of
his
remarks
Brother
B.
E.
Connerly
was
ordained
to
the
gospel
ministry.
The
Spirit
witnessed
to
the
work
done.
Brother
Connerly
and
wife
have
labored
nearly
two
years
in
this
city.
Their
faithfulness
has
brought
several
to
the
message,
and
many
more
are
interested,
some
of
whom
are
about
to
begin
to
observe
the
Sab-
bath.
Perhaps
some
of
the
readers
would
like
to
know
more
about
the
manner
of
their
work.
When
they
began
la-
bor,
their
experience
was
very
lim-
ited
in
everything
but
slum
work.
Soon
they
discontinued
this,
