Calendar:April 16th to May 15th DAILY BIBLE READING ……. April 16th, John 19; April 30th, Acts 12; May 15th, Acts 27.
Inasmuch as Young Believers' Meetings are still held in various parts, we would welcome letters as to these for publication in the Young Believers' Department.
One such meeting has been carried on in Jersey City for years. It is held bi-monthly on Saturday evenings, and young Christians come from distant points to the homes designated for the various dates. One of the main features of these gatherings has been the asking and answering of questions. This has proven helpful and edifying, as it causes interesting and instructive discussions among those present. Local and laboring brethren have helped in the conducting of these meetings, but notes were not taken in the past. It is hoped, however, that this may be done in the future and a summary given here for the help of all.
On New Year's Eve we had a Watch-Night Meeting, the first part being taken up with the regular meeting, followed by hymn-singing, recitations, etc. Our brother John Bloore then gave a stirring message suited to the entering of the New Year, after which refreshments were served. Many expressed joy in having spent so profitable an evening dwelling on the things of the Lord.
While rejoicing that the Lord had blessed and kept us through the distressing conditions of these changing times, we hope and pray that this account will serve as an encouragement to similar meetings everywhere, and that there may be a renewal of interest where such have lagged or broken down. -Wm.
