Others have spoken quite fully on this subject, but it may not be amiss for me to add my testimony of thankfulness for what the Lord has done for us during the series of meetings just held at Rome, N. Y. While we have reason to believe that as an occasion of mental and intellectual improvement the Institute was a decided success, its spiritual interests were not less a success.
Another important and encouraging feature of the work is its directly practical results. Five young men have already gone into the field, seemingly imbued in a good degree with the spirit of the work. They have already reported means enough pledged to purchase two new tents to be put in the field this season. Others will engage in the work as soon as circumstances will admit. It is expected that we shall have ten tents in the field this season.
The following resolutions, which were unanimously adopted by a rising vote, the last evening of the session, express the general feeling manifested by those in attendance:—
Resolved, That we hereby express our heartfelt thanks to God for the advantages of this Biblical Institute, marked, as we believe it has been, by the special presence of his Holy Spirit.
Resolved, In view of the clear, complete, and indisputable evidence of the Bible, which shows more clearly than ever to our minds that the work in which Seventh-day Adventists are engaged is the work of God, and in view of the faithful instruction we have received in reference to this work, that we consecrate ourselves more fully than ever to the service and work of God, and seek to be baptized anew with the spirit of the third angel's message.
Resolved, That we express our appreciation of the faithful labors of Brn. Smith and Haskell, and pray God to strengthen and fit them for continued usefulness in this work and a rich reward in his kingdom.
Resolved, That our thanks are due to Brn. B. L. Whitney and A. H. Hall for their untiring efforts to make this Institute a success, and we would assure them of our sympathy and earnest co-operation in the work that pertains to the interests of this Conference.
Resolved, That we hereby express our thanks to the brethren and sisters of Rome for the kind and liberal entertainment they have afforded us; and we pray that the Lord will make the exercises of this Institute the means of great good to this church.

State Quarterly Meeting at Pulaski, N. Y.
By R. L. Whitney
This meeting will be held April 27 and 28. We hope to see it well attended, especially by the brethren from the surrounding churches.
We have not had a general meeting in this part of the State for some time, and the brethren ought to make a special effort for a general gathering, as this will be the only general meeting in this section until the fall camp-meeting.
As there are but few friends of the cause living in the village, we suggest that as far as possible the brethren come with teams, so as to bring bedding, provisions, etc., prepared to go out with brethren living a distance from the place of meeting, who are willing to do all they can to entertain those who may come. This will avoid putting too heavy burden upon any.
Above all, brethren, let us seek the Lord earnestly, for his blessing to be with us, that we may have a profitable season.
R. L. WHITNEY.
