into tlie clear light of that knowledge and holiness which 
descend from heaven. Not that it can yet be affirmed 
that the sun is at his meridian. Far up the heights have 
they to climb before they attain to so exalted a position ; 
but it is cheering to know that the journey is begun, and 
that, witli the aid sought and promised, its blissful goal 
shall l)e reached. 
At the Sixth Company ■ there is a church of about 
forty-five members; but, unhappily, there is little, if 
any, attempt to impart instruction to the young, either 
in Sabbatli or day school. Prayer meetings are well 
attended and prized, and marriages are more frequently
