very
intelligent
class
of
people,
and
the
prospects
are
good
that
a
number
will
take
hold
of
the
truth
for
this
time.
I
understand
that
one
family
began
to
observe
the
Sabbath
last
#week.
We
ask
the
united
prayers
of
all
of
God’s
people
that
the
laborers
here
may
be
given
strength
and
wis-
dom
to
bind
off
the
work
in
God's
AWay.
This
field
is
an
industrial
storm-
centre,
and
the
public
mind
has
been
in
a
continual
state
of
agitation
for
a
long
time.
On
account
of
the
injury
to
my
eye,
the
larger
part
of
the
pub-
lic
work
has
fallen
upon
Elder
Shrock.
Sister
Jessie
Weiss
has
rendered
valu-
able
assistance
in
the
house-to-house
work,
and
Elder
Shrock’s
daughters
have
furnished
the
music,
Geneva
playing
the
organ,
and
Ethel
the
vio-
Brother

F.
Phillips

as
tentmaster.
The
stone
which
hit
me
in
the
eye
dislocated
the
lens,
and
the
injury
still
interferes
with
my
sight
a
great
deal.
There
is
some
improve-
ment,
and
the
oculist
1s
hopeful
that
in
time
it
will
fully
recover.
Several
a
of
the
boys
who
threw
stones
were
ar-
rested,
and
since
then
all
has
been
quiet
about
the
tent.

PrrHAPS
the
readers
of
the
GLEANER
will
like
to
hear
what
the
Lord
is
do-
ing
through
the
few
aged
and
infirm
people
that
there
‘are
in
this
place.
Since
April
first
we
have
loaned
“Great
Controversy,”
“
Heralds
of
the
Morn-
ing,”
“The
Marvel
of
Nations,”
and
about
six
hundred
and
seventy
pages
of
reading
on
the
subject
of
the
re-
a
demption
;
have
given
away
over
four
hundred
tracts,
and
have
written
twenty
letters.
This
is
what
the
Lord
can
do
if
there
is
first
a
willing
mind.
#
O
my
brethren
and
sisters
through-
out
the
Union
Conference,
let
each
one
try
to
sense
the
time
in
which
we
are
now
living,
God
is
calling
for
us
ATLANTIC
UNION
GLEANER
to
arise
and
shine,
for
our
Light
has
risen
upon
us.
Who
will
obey
his
voice,
and
come
up
to
the
help
of
the
Lord
against
the
mighty
?
When
1
review
my
past
life,
and
realize
how
little
I
have
done
for
the
Master
who
gave
his
precious
life
for
my
sins
that
he
might
redeem
me
from
this
present
evil
world
accord-
ing
to
the
will
of
God
and
our
Father,
I
wish
that
I
had
been
more
active
in
his
service.
It
sometimes
seems
as
though
Satan
would
rule,
but
when
we
look
in
the
living
Word,—the
Word
that
was
made
flesh
and
dwelt
among
us,
the
true
Bread
of
Life,—we
see
that
if
any
man
eat
of
this
Bread,
he
shall
never
die.
Let
us
stick
to
the
living
Word,
and
God
will
accomplish
the
rest
for
us.
It
is
pleasant
to
trust
in
the
Lord
and
know
that
he
is
right
with
us
every
hour.
I
can
but
glory
in
his
holy
name.
Go
forward,
is
the
command,
and
fear
not.

BRUSHTON,
N.

SUNDAY
morning
was
bright
and
pleasant,
and
according
to
previous
announcement,
the
pastor
of
the
Chris-
tian
church
of
this
place,
gave
a
dis-
course
on
“My
Views
on
the
Sab-
bath.”
Our
company
were
in
attend-
ance
and
at
the
close
of
the
service,
by
permission
of
the
pastor,
Elder
Whitney
invited
all
to
attend
the
meet-
ing
in
the
evening
at
the
tent
to
hear
“God’s
Views
on
the
Sabbath.”
In
the
afternoon
it
began
to
cloud
up
and
rain.
Showers
continued
at
intervals
until
just
before
meeting
time
it
looked
as
though
it
had
settled
in
to
rain
so
our
meeting
would
be
a
failure.
We
arranged
for
meeting
and
with
a
few
of
the
West
Bangor
friends
we
went
into
my
living
tent
and
laid
the
matter
before
the
Lord,
asking
him
to
arrange
matters
so
our
meeting
should
be
a
success.
On
going
into
the
large
tent,
we
found
it
quite
well
filled,
and
in
a
very
few
(5)
369
minutes
nearly
every
seat
was
taken.
We
recognized
this
a$
an
answer
to
prayer,
but
our
faith
had
a
severe
test
when
it
began
to
rain
hard
during
our
opening,
and
we
knew
that
if
the
tent
leaked
as
it
had
been
leaking
lately
during
such
a
storm,
we
would
lose
the
congregation,
but
it
did
wot
Zak,
and
in
a
few
moments
the
storm
passed
and
it
became
clear.
The
Christian
minister,
Mr.
An-
drews,
and
wife
‘were
present,
and
with
the
rest
of
the
audience,
gave
the
best
of
attention.
Elder
Whitney
spoke
with
great
freedom
and
power
for
about
eighty
minutes,
taking
up
point
by
point
the
argument
of
the
morning,
completely
refuting
every
claim
and
burying
sophistry
and
ex-
cuse
under
an
avalanche
of
truth.
It
was
indeed
a
great
victory
for
truth,
and
has
deepened
the
interest
in
our
meetings.
Praise
the
Lord!

A
LETTER
FROM
LOWYVILLE,
PA.
WE
held
our
quarterly
meeting
at
Lowville,
August
9th
and
10th,
It
was
late,
but
we
waited
to
have
a
minister.
Our
church
was
finished
a
short
time
ago,
and
we
wished
a
min-
ister
present
to
dedicate
it.
Brother
Underwood
and
Brother
Prescott
from
Erie
were
here.
There
were
sixteen
members
with
their
families
who
attended,
besides
several
families
from
the
Bear
Lake
church.
There
were
also
several
from
the
outside
at
the
services.
Brother
Underwood’s
sermons
were
stirring,
as
meat
in
due
season.
He
spoke
of
us
as
living
stones,
being
hewn
and
fitted
to
make
the
heavenly
temple,
Jesus
Christ
being
the
chief
cornerstone,
Although
the
hewing
and
polishing
may
be
painful,
we
should
submit
to
it
all,
knowing
that
we
are
being
fitted
to
occupy
our
place
in
that
living
temple.
He
spoke
of
man
as
a
free
moral
agent,
having
the
liberty
to
do
wrong,
and
God's
plan
to
give
Jesus
even
be-
