$
came
to
them
from
the
pulpit.
At
the
closing
meeting
the
interest
manifested
warranted
the
continuance
of
the
meetings
during
another
week;
so-
Brother
Dryer
and
wife
and
Brother
Gibson
remained,
and
as
the
result
I
am
happy
to
state
that
some
have
de-
gcided
to
obey
the
truth.
Now
all
of
our
people
are
gone,
and
the
place
where
the
tent
stood
ap-
pears
just
as
it
did
two
weeks
ago.
But
we
know
for
a
certainty
that
the
results
of
this
effort
will
be
seen
through
all
eternity.
Brethren
and
sisters,
it
is
a
blessed
privilege
to
work
for
the
Lord,
and
let
us
avail
ourselves
of
every
opportunity
to
meet
one
another
in
such
gather-
ings
;
for
the
day
of
the
Lord
is
fast
approaching,
and
in
these
meetings
sve
gain
much
in
the
fitting
up
that
we
must
have
in
order
to
meet
him
in
peace.
Pray
for
us
who
remain
here,
that
we
may
have
wisdom
to
know
'
how
to
help
these
who
now
are
start-
ing
in
the
service
of
the
Lord.

SPRINGFIELD
AND
ENFIELD,
MASS.
THURSDAY
night,
September
24,
I
expected
to
be
at
Enfield,
on
my
re-
turn
from
the
New
York
camp-
meeting;
but
my
train
waited
at
Albany
for
a
connection
from
the
West,
and
before
I
reached
Spring-
field,
the
last
train
for
Enfield
had
gone.
I
went
to
Marble
Street,
where
Brother
and
Sister
Brown
gave
me
a
warm
welcome.
Later
in
the
evening
Dr.
Mary
Sanderson
came
in,
and
the
evening
proved
to
be
one
of
pleasure
and
profit,
Friday
forenoon
I
spent
some
time
with
Brother
and
Sister
Haines;
whom
I
found
of
good
courage.
In
the
af-
ternoon
I
met
Brother
Frank
Merry
and
wife
at
Dr.
Sanderson’s.
Sister
Merry
is
spending
some
time
with
the
doctor
taking
treatment.
"I
arrived
at
Enfield
in
time
for
the
evening
service,
which
was
held
in
the
town
hall.
The
attendance
was
ATLANTIC
UNION
GLEANER
small,
but
we
felt
that
a
beginning
was
made.
Sabbath
morning
six
of
us
met
at
Brother
Bolter’s
house
where
we
organized
a
Sabbath-school
with
Brother
Arthur
Sanderson
‘as
superintendent,
and
Sister
Alice
Bolter
as
secretary
and
treasurer.
This
seemed
to
be
a
source
of
en-
couragement
to
all.
Others
will
doubt-
less
meet
with
them
later.
Qur
meet-
ing
continued
three
hours
in
a
prayer-
ful
searching
of
the
Scriptures.
We
then
dismissed
for
dinner.
Before
we
had
finished
eating,
our
hearts
were
made
glad
by
seeing
Brother
and
Sister
A.
E.
Dickinson,
from
South
Hadley,
and
Brethren
Dwight
and
Walter
Dickinson
and
families,
from
South
Amherst,
drive
into
the
yard.
Some
one
said,
“
We
must
begin
over
again,”
and
so
we
did,
and
had
another
meeting
which
lasted
two
hours,
and
the
Lord
was
with
us
indeed.
Brother
and
Sister
A.
E.
Dickinson
remained
over
night,
and
we
all
had
a
most
pleasant
evening
in
consider-
ing
the
Lord’s
goodness
to
us,
and
his
great
work
in
the
earth.
Sunday
forenoon,
with
Brother
Sanderson,
I
attended
services
at
the
M.
E.
church.
The
pastor
is
study-
ing
the
message,
and
seems
somewhat
interested.
Sunday
afternoon
I
spoke
again
in
the
town
hall
with
a
much
better
at-
tendance,
notwithstanding
it
rained
all
the
afternoon.
The
subject
was,
“The
United
States
in
Prophecy.”
The
attention
manifested
indicated
that
an
interest
had
been
awakened
to
hear
or
read
more.
We
advertised
the
book,
“
Marvel
of
Nations,”
and
Brother
Sanderson
is
planning
to
take
advantage
of
the
present
interest
by
canvassing
for
this
book.
I
was
much
surprised
to
see
that
Brethren
Dwight
and
Walter
Dickin-
son
came
through
the
rain
from
South
Amherst
to
attend
this
service.
The
Lord
will
certainly
bless
and
strengthen
his
children
whose
love
for
(7)
463
his
truth
and
service
leads
them
to
make
these
sacrifices.
This
visit
has
been
one
of
much
comfort
and
en-
couragement
to
me.
I
trust
that
ere
long
others
will
be
added
to
the
num-
ber
here,
such
as
shall
be
saved.
While
at
Enfield,
I
shared
the
kind
hospitalities
of
Brother
and
Sister
Daniel
Bolter.
They
have
been
long
in
the
way,
and
I
was
pleased
to
find
Brother
Bolter’'s
mind
exercised
con-
cerning
his
duty
to
the
cause
of
God.
Please
notice
his
request
in
this
paper.
May
the
Lord
give
special
wisdom
to
all
such
is
my
prayer,
that
they
may
know
and
see
clearly
the
path
of
duty.

EDUCATIONAL
OUR
ACADEMY
AND
CHUORCH-SCHOOLS
TALK
BY
E.
R.
PALMER
AT
THE
OPEN-
ING
OF
SOUTH
LANCASTER
ACADEMY
.*
SEVENTEEN
years
ago
I
came
into
this
dear
old
chapel
for
the
first
time,
Eleven
years
ago
I
went
out,
and
have
not
seen
it
since
until
I
came
in
this
morning.
I
esteem
this
a
very
precious
privilege.
I
am
glad
to
see
such
a
large
company
gathered
here,
and
with
-bright,
earnest
faces,
ready
to
face
enthusiastically
the
work
of
the
school
year.
This
dear
old
school
is
surrounded
by
so
many
associations
it
had
not
occurred
to
me
that
any
one
would
be
homesick;
but
it
had
occurred
to
me
that
the
teachers
would
have
a
hard
struggle
for
the
coming
two
months.
It
is
a
very
little
matter
to
adjust
yourself
to
peculiar
environ-
ments
for
a
few
months,
and
when
the
building
is
finished,
and
you
join
in
the
dedication,
you
will
enjoy
it
better
because
you
have
had
oppor-
tunity
to
help
in
getting
it
ready,
ex-
cept
perhaps
a
half
dozen,
and
I
hope
*This
talk
followed
the
one
given
by
Pro-
fessor
Griggs
which
was
printed
last
week,
