higher plains, and some may be still or
these mundane shores that 1 would re
joice once nore to greet, but must wait E
little while till we gather on the Other
side.
Well do 1 remember the Forest Sanctu
arg in the woods, where we often met for
worship, going 6 or 7 miles. Once on a
week day we had temperance meeting
there, and the writer of this gave writ
ten essay. l suppose it was well enough
received for heard no objection to it
but one thing know, it did not dry up
all the liquor shops, nor reform all the
drunkards. Neither money or time was
thrown away in the building of that
Forest Sanctuary. l have no doubt that
voices were there prepared to sing with
angels in the heavenly choir.
Sd. The Standard of 23d January, con-
tains Bro. Howe sketch of pioneer life.
The scene is Oak Hill, though 40 odd
years ago. l remember it well-the SER
mons-the audience the woods s. the
rough stand and seats-the faces that
shone with brightness, now in the bright
er world-yea, the rain too that drove US
into my log house, where Bro. Howe
preached to standing audience of eager
listeners-yes, I remember it all, and
thank you again for the "reminiscences
that bring up such sweet thoughts OF
olden time. The inquiry now arises,
was there not seed sown on that occa-
sion, that have yielded fruit and will con-
tinue to do SO in future years MY
word shall not return unto me void, but
| it shall accomplish that which l please,
and it shall prosper in the thing whereto
l sent it."
Blessed be the promise Lord believe;
help thou mine unbelief"
